Good point. Why can't the Republican Party stop kowtowing to the liberal media and hold all of its debates on Fox News?
Well, so called CONSERVATIVES insisted the GOP had to attend this youtube debate or they’d look bad like the Dems avoiding Fox. People like ruffini spearheaded the charge. The GOP was actually resistent to this at first, so I think more blame has to go to the “conservatives” that pushed them into this. Of course these same “conservatives” are the same ones working overtime to make sure we get a RINO for a nominee.
But there’s more. According to Lt. Col. Bill Campenni (USAF, ret), one of President Bush’s squadron mates in the Texas Air National Guard, there is no such thing as the California National Reserve of which Kerr claimed to be a former member.
Campenni told HUMAN EVENTS that Kerr is not even a retired Army General.
“He retired as a California Army National Guard colonel,” said Campenni. “It is common at Guard retirement ceremonies to give an honorary promotion to colonels to the STATE rank of Brigadier General…[but] it has no meaning other than a fancy certificate for the wall and use of the title at local Guard functions.”
Campenni said the rank of general is not federally recognized and the title can not be used or the rank worn outside the state.
Although CNN claimed they verified Kerr’s military background and that he had not contributed any money to any presidential candidate, it’s unlikely that no one at the network was aware of his identity within the Clinton campaign.
But whether they had knowledge or not, it was CNN’s journalistic responsibility to find out.
