The link is to his presser where he pretty much threwq Trump under the bus for the photo op and said he will not support the insurrection act being used, fox news stated he is now headed to the WH after gushing all over this





Did I hear that right

Esper straight up threw Trump under the bus by contradicting that he does not support using the military, and not knowing that he was part of a photo op at the church. Gonna be interesting if he is still employed by sundown.

He is employed at the pleasure of the president.

Does the president look like that gave him pleasure?

Fire him.

This is about protecting innocent citizens who are having their lives destroyed.

Just because someone is mad about something else, it doesn't give them the fricking right to destroy the lives of unrelated people just trying to get by.

Sec of defense is apparently a pussy who is willing to concede entire cities to mob rule and force the innocents inside to fend for themselves.

Pretty much zero chance of getting a new one confirmed this year. The first question asked will be if the nominee supports using the military against American citizens. A yes kills any chance with the rinos and a no is a slap in the face of the president

I am sorry but no one really supports implementing the insurrection act and what it entails but the SECDEF cannot come out and say he does not support it...

Esper wants out before Civil War literally breaks out but he's too chicken shite to admit it and quit.

Nobody wants to be Def Secty when Americans go to war against each other. Be a man and admit it.

We won WWII without one and the Union was victorious in the Civil War without one so no.

Frick him.

All this "racism exists in America" bs from our own people is ridiculous. It barely exists, and true racists tend not to get very far in this country.

This is not Apartheid South Africa nor Jim Crow South. Frick off with this BS

Loud and clear. It was telling that Gen Milley wasn't present.

Esper is trying to cover for the career slackers in the Pentagon that opposes anything that DJT does in regards to the Military.

I don't give 2 fricks if Esper doesn't agree with using the Insurrection Act. And it's sure as hell not his place to publicly announce his views, Esper is not Commander in Chief.

Secretary of Defense Richard Grenell has a good ring to it.

Priebus, Esper, and Bolton should have never been hired to begin with.
