On Saturday’s “CNN Newsroom,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson and USS Theodore Roosevelt Commanding Officer Captain Brett Crozier are examples of people the Trump administration fired for speaking the truth.
Schumer said, “There’s all too familiar a pattern in this administration, when you tell the president the truth, you get fired. This guy was a patriot. This guy stood for — our intelligence agencies have done such a wonderful job. … And by politicizing it, dismantling it, not wanting to hear the truth, that’s — since World War II, we have built up this fine, fine agency. And the president is undermining it. When you speak truth to power in this country, Fredricka, when you speak truth to power, you should be a hero. But in this administration, when you speak truth to power, all too often, you get fired. Ask the captain of the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, ask Col. Vindman, ask other people.”

Schumer, you were caught talking to an empty chair in the Senate, so I think we can do without your “perspective.”
And yet Trump is expected to work this this walking, talking piece of excrement - not to mention that cow-breasted, vile airhead Pelosi.
Here's an actual example of speaking truth to power -- Chuck Schumer is a partisan liar who is and always has been unfit for office.
Go home Chuck. They need you there.
“speak truth to power”
The only “REAL” reason anyone is ever fired.
As the commanding officer of a naval vessel he was the power. Navy Regs repose full responsibility and authority in the CO. It wasn't for him to tell others they need to tell him what to do. He needed to use the vast resources at his command to do everything possible for his ship and his men. Instead of doing that, he whined, and apparently got himself infected in the process.
corrupt as F deep state
That settles it for me.
If those two scumbags are backing up that guy, then that guy must be guilty as hell.
Cabal don’t speak up for anyone but cabal.
And possibly “allowed” his “request” to be accessed by someone in the media. Stepping outside the chain of command can be hazardous to your career.
speaking truth to power.....that has to be about single dumbest and useless phrase I hear from the Left.
NO ! He was fired for revealing the Combat Readiness Status of one of America’s biggest warships. He should be prosecuted for releasing classified information.
How’s YOUR state doin, Schmuck?
“I’ve known you for many years, but I never knew how bad a Senator you are for the state of New York, until I became President.” - President Donald J. Trump in a White House letter to Schumer
ask Col. Vindman, ask other people.”

Next chuckles will be ORDERING PDJT to heed di Blasio and Cuomo, two people with cool heads on their shoulders.
One would think chuck has an axe to grind with the Prez<: <: <:.
Chuck has been and will be a no good piece of Schiff who will cause you great bodily damage if one tries to get between him and a microphone or camera.
The only power it’s permissible to stand up to in the military is the enemy. Otherwise it just doesn’t work.
Who put the crew ashore in a foreign country amid the pandemic?
The truth Schmucky? How you RATs were behind the Steele Dossier and fabricated evidence against the president in your fake impeachment! Truth to power Schmucky? How about the Democrat Party’s long standing and continuing financial ties to despots and oligarchs around the world including Russia, Saudi Arabia and China! No Schmucky. You guys can’t handle the REAL truth because it will destroy all of you in The Swamp!
Schumer is the biggest liar that has ever served in the Senate. Yep, worse than Reid.
Based on the evidence to date he did indeed step outside of the chain of command. He also made the job of the Chicoms and Russians that much easier by revealing how easy it is to put an American aircraft carrier out of commission. He potentially put not only the entire fleet at risk but our national security.
