Biden unsettles Marine Band members by campaigning for Democrats at official event where they played

I was unaware active duty service members can wear the uniform at political rallies. Ask Defense Secretary Austin if there is an exception to that regulation for Democrat campaign events," the source familiar with the band's inner workings told Fox News Digital.

"Anyone with eyes to see knows that the Marine Corps just gave an in-kind contribution to Pennsylvania Democrats before the midterm elections," the source continued. "And they’ll do so again on Thursday in Philadelphia."

When asked for comment on the band members’ reaction to the president's actions, the Department of Defense (DOD) pointed Fox News Digital to the White House, which did not provide a comment to Fox News Digital.

The Marine Band did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Since the MSM does this every single day, they will take no notice. :)

There’s someone in AF Public Affairs who needs to be charged as well as the band members if they knew it was a campaign event.

We all know democrats can break any law and have nothing happen to them but dare a patriot trespass and they are thrown in jail for years without trial.

We live in a society run by criminals.

I’d say a Mardi Gras krewe is a fraternal organization, so it shouldn’t have been allowed.

Completely not allowed per the UCMJ to be at a political rally in uniform.

Rush told the story of how, shortly after Clinton's inauguration, one of his staff complained about military jets flying overhead. The other staff replied "It's OK; they're OUR jets now!"

BiteMe doesn’t do as he pleases.

The POTATUS does what he’s told.

BiteMe is far less of a threat than the people who installed him.

Marine Corps whores for the democrat party.

Biden says, ‘they’re my personal butt boys - they play for me when I tell them to play, where I tell them to play.”
