Richard V. Spencer, President Trump’s ousted former Navy secretary, endorsed on Friday the opposing White House campaign of Democratic candidate Michael R. Bloomberg.
Mr. Spencer, who was asked to resign in November amid a dispute involving retired Navy SEAL and convicted war criminal Edward R. Gallagher, stumped for Mr. Bloomberg during a campaign event held in Virginia shortly after his support was announced on the candidate’s official website.
Speaking near a naval base in Norfolk, Mr. Spencer touted the billionaire media mogul and former New York City mayor for having characteristics crucial to running the country.
We need a leader with integrity and discipline who is a pragmatic problem solver,” said Mr. Spencer.
“If we are to sustain this experiment called democracy, America needs the best leader available. A leader who understands the complexities of today’s world both foreign and domestic. A leader who can articulate, implement his strategy while having a steady hand on the wheel,” Mr. Spencer added. Mr. Spencer, 66, led the Navy for more than two years under Mr. Trump prior to being pushed out amid a disagreement over Gallagher, who was convicted of posing with a human corpse but allowed with the president’s support to retire as a SEAL. He is the first former high-ranking member of the Trump administration to back Mr. Bloomberg, who launched his campaign in November and has steadily gained in the polls since.

And with enemies like these Trump doesn't need friends.
Bloomberg?? Unbelievable!
So he’s the one!
Loser endorses loser.
Perfect reason for service folks not to vote Bloomie!
We haven’t had a boat crash since that loser went away!
well THAT changes who I’m going to vote for now. /s
Yeah. I saw something today about a “former Trump official” endorsing Bloomberg and then found that it was this perfidious sanctimonious self-serving douche.
Three words for Mr. Spencer: New York City. So much for problem-solving.
Yet another vindictive-man
I thought he would be waiting for Mitt to declare.
Anything, to oppose and resist his former boss, the president.
Not honorably, that's for sure.
“Richard Spencer endorses Michael Bloomberg”
Would be a shame if that started leaking onto the internet strategically...
> Mr. Spencer, who was asked to resign in November... <
That’s all you need to know.
Typical of the perfumed princes. Political jackass narcissists who look down upon those they are supposed to lead.
Most colleges need to be put out of business and higher education needs to be “re-invented” in a way that eliminates the teaching of failed marxist ideologies.
For 8 years, Obamatard purged the armed forces if you want to check the old archives on FR. There are lots of these enemies still there and will take a LOT of firings..
Well, that was short
Thanks ‘Dick’.
Let’s be clear here. Secretaries of the Navy are civilian political appointees. The position is designed for corruption and the appointment it to make a political payoff. No one cares who is the Secretary of the Navy. The CNO works for him and if he forgets it, he gets swift reminders.
