The optics of President Biden's speech attacking MAGA Republicans last week have drawn criticism for inserting Marines into what was obviously a political speech rather than a presidential address to the nation. Even the usually reliable apologist for Democrat excesses CNN thought he had gone too far. Anchor Brianna Keilar observed that "the military is supposed to be apolitical. Positioning Marines in uniform behind President Biden for a political speech flies in the face of that."
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended the imagery as "appropriate for the occasion. Our democracy is under attack from an insidious domestic threat. The inclusion of the marines, like the President's earlier warning that he has F-15s standing by to obliterate these enemies of the people, was meant as a warning. US Marines are the finest trained killers in the world. The President knows that many of his critics consider him a feeble, addled old man. He wanted to show them that as weak as he may be personally, he commands mighty forces."
There are military rules prohibiting active duty members from participating in political campaigns while in uniform because it could give the impression that the military favors one Party over the other. Jean-Pierre insisted that "taking on the evil MAGA Republicans is more a holy crusade than a mere disagreement about political policies. The threat is so dire that the full weight of our military might must be employed to ensure that the President's unifying message is received and obeyed."

Because lieberals never believe they ever, ever, ever, make a mistake.
Yeah, they are perfection, and if they are not well, they have good intentions.
Stroke out Joe. Die in screaming agony on national TV.
I wonder what has Jo Jo the Pedophile so paranoid. The J6ers, MAGAmonsters or his FIB Boyz. I’ll bet he’s worried that some FBI Guyz are standing by in their official FBI windbreakers and body armor just waiting for the word to raid little Hunter’s treehouse hideout.
The Secret Police, er, FBI found Lindell in the middle of nowhere to rob him of his phone.
That goes along nicely with the military threat symbolized by the marines.
”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...
They will not get away with it, as you can easily tell by the millions of Americans now out there in the streets of America demanding a return of our former Constitutional freedoms & liberties...
Oh... Wait...
What Democracy? This is supposed to be a Republic but the Dims are making it dictatorship.
No politician, not even the President in “OUR USA”, has the right, much less the authority to involve any member of the military in politics. Biden deserves total scorn. I recall all of our SF officers and NCO’s voted for Wallace and LeMay in 68. We wanted bombs.
That sinister POTUS should have had the Marines fully armed to impress the nation.
That’s true, as well as the Zoomy’s losing their hazard pay for their most dangerous tasks. But that doesn’t slow the regime’s Hellish indoctrination programs and purge of all patriots and health-concerned service members refusing the clot shot - even after those have been proven to be ineffective. They just want a totally compliant force who’ll have no qualms firing on civilians.
