We need to be careful about too-quickly tossing folks under the bus for small screw-ups. Really... The guy got in an argument with some rabid mouthy buttmunch and spouted off something that, while defensible in the moment, wasn’t technically accurate. Look, people... He went to West Point. He graduated Ranger school. He served (as far we know) honorably. I don’t know either how somebody with that pedigree ends up an appointee in an abhorrent administration. But I’m willing to cut the guy a break on this one.
He was the CEO of Procter & Gamble, one of the world’s major corporations, he had a military background, he loved the military and wanted to help veterans, and he volunteered himself.
P&G being a Cincinnati based corporation, and being a Cincinnati resident myself once upon a time, and knowing the affiliation of most in that era, I’m betting he’s voted republican far more than he’s voted democrat.
