Re: Marines at Mar-a-Lago
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Marines at Trump resort did not break rules on politicking in uniform”
(snip) Marine Corps officials said a viral photo of four uniformed service members posing at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate did not take place during a political fundraiser, but instead at an approved nonprofit event without any connection to the Republican presidential nominee.
In a statement posted on social media over the weekend, service officials said the Marines — reserve members of the 4th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company — were in attendance on April 11 at the Florida resort to serve as a color guard for a gala hosted by the Grey Team, a nonprofit organization focused on preventing military suicides.
“The request was reviewed by Marine Forces Reserve Community Relations and deemed eligible for support,” service leaders said in a statement. “The event was open to the public and helped raise awareness about military and veteran suicides.
“The event was neither a political fundraiser, nor was the 45th president of the United States in attendance.”

Thanks for the update, can’t believe an upstanding hack like Kinsinger would bend the facts.
Thank you.
Thanks for researching that.
