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.

Go get ‘em Teddy!
This is like a tag team, first Tucker, then Ted.
That’s how you do it. Rub their military noses into it.
Such emotionally lead, unprofessional behavior needs to be called out.

The point of the article is that the military, on official channels and with spokemen in uniform (several of them, in fact), is attacking a media pundit on their political opinion. It's become overtly politicized.

All those times we said 'it can't happen here', well it's happening. All those times we said 'well if it ever did the military would side with the constitution and with us!', well, I'm not so sure anymore.

This entire episode has been disgraceful - US military publications and military leaders engaged in middle-school cafeteria attacks on a journalist who dared to question their policies. Our armed forces are in deep trouble if these douchebags are what’s in charge.

Keep wasting my tax dollars (that goes for Cruz and the Military). I doubt they will ever fix the problem so it’s a waste of time.

They’ll probably send a sex changer to insult Cruz.

It seems that maybe the military is now under chi control too.

Hope it goes better than when they met with Twitter Jack Dorsey.

Yeah, keep abusing us and blocking Trump.

Norks should take South Korea, China should take Taiwan, Iran should take Iraq all at the same time.The military has its eyes on internal idiocy as opposed to our real enemies.

The joint Red Dawn invasion of America by Russian-Chinese forces and their proxies Iran North Korea and the U.N blue helmets who are now under Russian command is right around the corner.

Hence why Washington D.C. is actually boarded up.

The horrible part is, that Tucker’s absolutely right - and none of these people in my Corps responding to him have a teacup’s worth of real combat experience.

They got where they are today by looking good in their promotion photos, avoiding risk and not learning a thing from our own history.

Like we did in ‘75, we need a massive flush in the Corps, but this time, from the top down.

They have mostly taken away the 1st Ammendment, they control the Press and apparently the Generals.
But they haven’t taken away the 2nd Ammendment:
Since 2008, gun and ammunition have been flying off the shelves by a free people who have sensed the writing on the wall.
And “they” are very afraid-hence the barbed wire around the Capitol. Does that look like a picture of a government confident in its hold on power?

This isn’t over.

I have a news flash for ya. We’re ALL in deep trouble. By 7/4/2021 you won’t recognize this country. The voting rights act will be passed, the second amendment will be dead (buried along with the constitution), your citizenship will be a joke (alien surge), and they will find a new excuse to keep us locked down. Other than that it’s all good.
