Shall we determine just HOW this clown ever got an appointment to West Point? Which congress-monster, exactly or other reserved appointment giver. Let’s find out. It is a matter of record at the Point.
Appalling jackass this clown is.
You beat me to it! I was wondering the same thing, especially what member of congress would have been involved.
Read the story. He was an enlisted man and applied after a tour in Afghanistan. I don't think those applicants need congressional approval.
I believe he did get an appointment from his Congressman. IIRC, he was from Pennsylvania.....and the Congressman who appointed him is appalled (or was when the pictures came out). I think the people who write the appointments don’t necessarily follow those whom they have appointed. And some of his instructors did report on his Communist love, but nothing happened. I am glad to see he is no longer ‘leading’ in the Army.
From New Castle, PA. I believe he was nominated by a now ex-Rep Jason Altmire.
But, he was an Army Ranger before he was a cadet so there may be some question as to the nominating process for him vs a standard nomination.
What is saddest of all, there are only so many openings at our military colleges each year.
This creep STOLE a place from someone who obviously deserved it far more.
whoever recommended him should have such privilege stripped for the rest of their life.
From The Daily Caller: The former Democratic congressman who nominated communist 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone to West Point is now disavowing Rapone’s recent comments, which range from attacks on Secretary of Defense James Mattis to calls for political violence.
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.
