I’ve been critical of the recently elected Democratic Senator from Arizona, Ruben Gallego, before on here. However, I am quite pleased with him calling out Mango Mussolini on his military stunt with the generals and admirals yesterday:
Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) pulled no punches on Tuesday when asked to react to President Donald Trump’s suggestion earlier in the day that the military could use American cities as “training grounds.”
“Look, the president’s an idiot,” replied Gallego, who is also a former Marine.
“He doesn’t actually understand how the military works. The first thing it’s going to be is that most U.S. citizens will stand against that in civil protests, and you’ll have many of us joining them in that if they try to do such a thing,” Gallego continued, adding:
Number two, the oath that our members of the military take—they will not be firing upon their own men and women, their own neighbors. Only, again, an idiot like Donald Trump would believe that such a thing could happen. And thirdly, we’ll do everything within our constitutional power to make sure we hold anybody accountable should they ever do something of that nature.
And whether it’s now or when this president is gone, anybody that engages in that type of action against our civilian population will be held accountable one way or the other. And, you know, I think most—in fact, all of the people I’ve ever served with—understand their oath to the Constitution. It’s not to this president. And when that moment comes, they’re going to live up to that Constitution.
In addition, Governor Pritzker of Illinois called out the idiot too, stating that he had dementia, is insane, and was acting like Putin:
Gov. JB Pritzker continues to mince no words about Donald Trump, telling reporters that the president has dementia.
“It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he’s copying tactics of Vladimir Putin,” Pritzker said Monday during a press conference. “Sending troops into cities, thinking that that’s some sort of proving ground for war, or that indeed there’s some sort of internal war going on in the United States is just, frankly, insane and I’m concerned for his health.”
This is what I expect all of our Democratic leaders to do. Fight fire with fire. Say it like it is, and don’t back down. Gloves off.
