Communist West Point graduate 2nd. Lt. Spenser Rapone called Secretary of Defense James Mattis the most “evil, vile f***” in the entire Trump administration.
After reports emerged tying Rapone to the Twitter account @punkproletarian on Monday, West Point issued a statement distancing itself from Rapone’s tweets, which included calling for political violence against the right, referring to Trump as a fascist, and openly promoting communism while in uniform. West Point also noted that Rapone’s chain of command had opened an investigation.
But one of the tweets which has so far escaped attention is Rapone denigrating Mattis in the most vulgar of terms.
In a tweet dated June 8, 2017, Rapone tweeted at a podcaster, stating: “Was so pumped for you to go in on Mattis on the latest ep. Definitely the most vile, evil fuck in the current administration.”
Not only that, but Rapone also attacked Vice President Mike Pence in a tweet from August: “Holy s*** what world do these people live in? “Mediocre and conservative?” Pence is a fucking medieval, cold-blooded killer.”

Such statements run the risk of violating Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. According to Article 88, “Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”
The maximum punishment under Article 88 is dismissal from the military, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and prison for a year.
Rapone also had interesting things to say about elected officials, as well, saying in one tweet from July: “Fuck John McCain. Will happily dance on his grave.”

He’s a PA native, so either Casey or Toomey. Either that or someone in his chain nominated him. I’m quite sure when they got his packet and simply saw he was tabbed, they rubber stamped it. Probably never even met the kid.
/pol/ is looking into it. Someone took the pictures of him on graduation day. There’s also a certain Muslim professor at USMA that was his student adviser. This guy did not happen in a vacuum.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This jackanapes will be the poster monkey for stupidity getting its just rewards.
I sent this letter to President Trump two days ago:
I read recently of Army Lieutenant Spenser Rapone’s support of and belief in communism and his online posts*. This is dangerous! Rapone’s communist beliefs are counter to everything America stands for! He can have a serious corrosive affect on morale and soldiers’ loyalty. I recommend he be dismissed from the Army.
How many other officers are corrupted? How many other officers don’t believe in the Constitution? They are a great danger to the military which, if left to spread, will endanger the Republic. I urge a review of the military and purge of servicemen with antiAmerican sympathies. They are like a cancer in our body politic.

Tell JR! Bet Most of us on FR would like one.
How did he get in? How did Bradley Manning get that top security clearance?
Immediate dishonorable discharge and drop him into norkland.
He does look like Weiner.
correct on Article 88,133 you can also add 89,91,134 to the list Why have these not been filed against this person? Let me guess there are some Obama officers in the military and most likley agree with him. Obama got rid of all the good ones. Solders should keep in mind when they log on to social media they still represent the Army. In other words if you would not say it to your commanding officers face don’t say it on social media
He wants to be prosecuted. His 15 minutes and all.
Former Democratic Rep. Jason Altmire of Pennsylvania told The Daily Caller News Foundation that Rapone’s long history of extremist tweets, which include calling Mattis an “evil, vile f****,” is shocking, disappointing and abhorrent.
“West Point issued a statement distancing itself from Rapone’s tweets”
Wow,
Alec, I’m going with `Who is Senator Bob Casey?’. This guy should go be a communist somewhere else.
And female black ring-knockers giving black power salutes? The last 8 years under Nobama ... the stench remains.
And did they know of his views the entire time he was at West Point?
Why didn’t anyone speak up and hold this POS accountable?
West Point candidates are selected by their RINO and Demoncrat Senators. Who advanced this traitor's name? There's the clue.
Code Red
Communism is a subversive doctrine that overthrows a nation’s freedom, liberty, and Constitution. This man should be dishonorably discharged and sent to the communist nation of choice that he so admires. Or better yet, let the Bolivians deal with him. ;-)
Thank you for letting those West Point grads know about this.
This ilk is way too confident and has gone too far along in his military career with this treasonous behavior.
How has he and others like him been allowed to continue this crap??!!
Leavenworth.
