White House Adviser John Kirby Accidentally Sends Fox News an Insulting Message About a 'Handful of Veterans'
The Western Journal ^ | Sept. 12. 2024 | The Western Journal

Posted on 09/12/2024 2:00:11 PM PDT by libstripper

A basic summary of Americans' contempt for their repellent ruling class boils down to three sentences:

Establishment politicians and other regime operatives view everything through the lens of power. They never assume any responsibility. They never suffer any consequences for their failures.

On Wednesday -- the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the United States -- White House National Security Council communications adviser John Kirby demonstrated the mind of a well-placed regime toady when he accidentally included Fox News in a "reply all" email chain that featured a message dismissive of what he called "a 'handful' of vets" critical of President Joe Biden's botched 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.

Expand article logo Continue reading "Obviously no use in responding. A 'handful' of vets indeed and all of one stripe," Kirby wrote.

We vets (I'm Vietnam-era, but not Vietnam) can have nothing but pure contempt for this totally evil man, who has disgraced the uniform of a rear admiral in the U.S. Navy to become a corrupt stooge for this bunch of bribe taking traitors that constitutes the entire Biden/Harris administration.

That metrosexual Kirby used to be a Navy admiral. King, Halsey, Nimitz, Rickover would have been disgusted and kicked someone like him out the door haste.

Maybe for a nice follow up John Kirby can go by the homes of the dead soldiers and spit in the faces of their mothers. Wouldn't that be fun you 'oh so empathetic commie/progressive assholes'?

My Navy experience predates Kirby’s by several decades, but sadly, we had many ‘Hollywood Admirals’ just like Kirby. The real Navy knew how to get rid of the bilge like Kirby. They posted them in the worst places and they disappeared into the woodwork.

Kirby was a communications and public affairs pogue throughout his naval career.

"...bribe taking traitors that constitutes the entire Biden/Harris administration."

This understates the evil that these vile communist scum represents...
At least to this Korean War vet (USMC 51-57)...

Reminds me of the old story about two officers who were trying to pull rank to cut in line for ice cream (”gedunk”) when someone barked at them to wait their turn. When they turned to see who had dared to rebuke them, they spotted Admiral William Halsey waiting in line with the rest of the sailors. Kriby is a ‘line cutter’!

pos “Kirby was a communications and public affairs pogue throughout his naval career.”

That is all he could have been; though I would argue his as having a Naval career.

The USN has enough admirals to have an Admiral captain every ship in the Navy.

It’s been this way with Dems ever since the Clintons in ‘92.

They have contempt for the military, and for veterans.
