Tucker Carlson has Hunter’s back.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said he requested a meeting with the head of the U.S. Marine Corps after one of its units tweeted statements insulting Tucker Carlson, along with unusually bellicose comments about the Fox News host.
“Under Biden, the military is launching political attacks to intimidate Tucker Carlson & other civilians who criticize their policy decisions,” Cruz wrote on Twitter, saying he requested a meeting with the commandant of the Marines. “Officials in uniform are being used for the campaign. I’ve demanded a meeting with the Commandant of the USMC to put a stop to it.”
Over the weekend, a U.S. Marine Corps unit’s Twitter account—the II Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group—stated it “messed up” in its comments when responding to Carlson after the Fox host said the military should be focused more on adversaries like China rather than social issues.
“We are human and we messed up. What was intended as a tweet in support of our female Marines and sisters serving in uniform was clearly not aligned with our standard practices or an appropriate representation of the Marine Corps. We will do better and serve the people,” the Marines unit added.
However, Cruz made note of several seemingly unusual statements from the military, including one from the Space Force Command’s senior enlisted leader, Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sgt. Scott Stalker, who said in a video that Carlson’s opinion is “based on zero days of service in the armed forces.” Stalker appeared to be wearing his uniform. Army Sgt. Major Michael Grinston also criticized the Fox host, while Defense Department spokesman John Kirby, a retired rear admiral and former CNN analyst, wrote a statement saying, “Press Secretary Smites Fox Host That Dissed Diversity in U.S. Military.”

It’s looking more and more like our military is corrupted.
Joseph Stolen’s Stasi thugs.
Go Ted. Watch your six.
Nothing wrong with the military that free gender assignment surgery won’t fix.;-)
someone said something dumb on Twitter?
Hell, every darn thing is corrupt. How long do we put up with this?
They’ll probably flip the finger to politicians also. Unless they are supporters of the junta. Why wouldn’t they?
What’s your point? One issue has nothing to do with the other. If your point is Carlson is not perfect in hs every position. Granted. Name someone who is?
““We are human and we messed up. What was intended as a tweet in support of our female Marines and sisters serving in uniform was clearly not aligned with our standard practices or an appropriate representation of the Marine Corps. We will do better and serve the people,” the Marines unit added.”
That is the gayest thing I have ever heard from the USMC.
LOL
There you go...
How is that relevant to the topic at hand? Almost all Republicans didn’t want to go after Hunter and they’re the ones in freaking power. So what’s your point?
The USMC is in the executive branch. Biden will tell them not to bother to answer “demands” from the permanent minority party.
What can Cruz do about it? Nothing.
>>It’s looking more and more like our military is corrupted.<<
Been trying to tell everyone, the military, and most law enforcement, are not our allies. They will obey their masters, and we are not their masters.
It’s more serious than that. This administration is attempting to turn the military into its own private security force.
The government acts more and more like a third world dictatorship.
Fascism involving the corporations and the military is evident now
For those who cheer on the left, I would remind you of the consequences of an unbridled tyranny. It turns on its supporters every single time as it amasses power and wil not brook any opposition no matter how mild or deserved.
