Sen. Ted Cruz: US Military ‘Launching Political Attacks’ Against Tucker Carlson, Requests Meeting with the Head of the U.S. Marine Corps

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.”

I believe that it pretty much does if you sit down and look at
what has happened.

I could see some merit to it early on, but it hasn’t panned
out to be a productive tool.

I’m not going to state unequivocally that it has never worked
out decent for some individuals, but it works out terribly
in many ways.

Thanks for the mention.

Says something about the value of a graduate, knowing they
accepted sub part testing to “achieve” their goal.

Others know. I wouldn’t want them in my unit.

Some of the tactics picked up in the Middle-East were for use in the U. S.

Hold on........

I 100% ageee with you. And everyone else that knows that that disgusting family made millions and did who knows what to underage girls. They redefine disgusting and depravity.

But, I’m just being honest. We have bigger fish to fry right now and hunter Biden ain’t one of them.

I just read a meme.....what was the purpose of keeping the country locked down for a year, when we’re now letting illegals in with no checks and being allowed to run rampant all over the place.

Gas has gone up over $1 already and isn’t slowing down

People are starting to lose their jobs and they haven’t even started with their disastrous economic policies.

What we need to worry about more than Hunter are the corrupt and cowardly state legislatures that allowed what happened in Nov 2020, to actually happen.

Weren’t the Marines called “devil dogs” & “leathernecks”?
Change it to the Pervert Brigade.

What’s a zampolit?

From Soviet military. Political officer. Most useless POS in each unit, yet can override the commanding officer. A sniveling backstabber.
If you have seen The Hunt for Red October, Captain Ramius kills the zampolit early in the movie.

Here in the USA, many corporate HR drones are also zampolits. And now the current SecDef will be introducing zampolits to the US military. The only officers left will be incompetent perfumed princes spouting politically correct gibberish.

Thank you, I get it now. Seems to me the Mulatto president infested the military with these traitors; transforming America.
I hate these people.
