The White House on Friday defended the presence of U.S. Marines at President Biden’s speech in Philadelphia the previous evening, arguing their positioning during the prime-time speech was to demonstrate the president’s respect for service members.

“The presence of the Marines at the speech was intended to demonstrate the deep and abiding respect the president has for these service members to these ideals and the unique role our independent military plays in defending our democracy no matter which party is in power,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters.

Completely disgusting

[Parley Baer]

The whole administration is completely disgusting.

[Billthedrill]

Yeah, right, and his repeated reference to F-15’s is only a sign of respect for the Air Force. Too bad he didn’t respect the 13 servicemembers he got killed in Afghanistan enough to behave decently when their coffin’s returned.

[butlerweave]

Why didn’t he have Susan Rice and Valerie Jarrett

[Billthedrill]

coffin’s = coffins. Too mad to type.

[Skywise]

That’s a load of malarkey.

[Gay State Conservative]

Reminds me a bit of that shot of a Marine...in dress blues...holding an umbrella over that Kenyan's head during a speech.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

White House defends…

Get used to that.

[Fai Mao]

I find myself wishing for a military coup. But after The Obamanation of Desolation purged the military leadership I think it is a forlorn hope.

[BenLurkin]

That set Biden used is about as far from the USMC’s public image as can be imagined. It was bizarre and almost “luciferian.”

Are they going to complain, and if so how and to whom?

[twister881]

Marines defend the Streets of Heaven, not the Gates of Hell.

[skeeter]

Biden has obviously disembarked from the No Malarky Express.

B.S.

Like everything else you and Diapers say.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

No, you can't trust the current "leadership" in the armed services. They are woke beyond hope.

[Bullish]

And you guys lit the place up as if it was a witch’s coven meeting hall.
What’s up with that?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Wow. First time this Admin has ever defended the Marines or any branch of or military.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Bullspit. The Left always hated the military until they managed to infiltrate and control it.

[Dalberg-Acton]

The entire point was to intimidate Trump voters. Doesn’t seem to be working.

[fidelis]

Sheesh. If that was their intention on this particular occasion Potatohead would have mentioned it during his tirade. They think that all Americans are as stupid and feckless as they are.

[Vermont Lt]

They just cannot stop making shit up.
