The Left has been demonizing men and women in uniform, in the military and in law enforcement, for decades. It was the Left that spat on our soldiers coming back from Vietnam. It was the Left that turned the death of a drug addict in Minneapolis into a racial issue and made it an excuse to defund urban police departments across America. Our cities never recovered.
Since the beginning of Donald Trump’s second term, the entire Democrat Party has been demonizing federal immigration police and any local police department that works with them. More recently, it has started threatening the American military, suggesting that officers who cooperate with the orders of the commander-in-chief will face “consequences” after Trump is out of office.
Two weeks ago, six Democrats went on social media to pointedly remind men and women in uniform that they do not have to follow the orders of the commander-in-chief if they believe those orders are illegal. That’s a suggestion that would literally destroy the American military.
These are also the same people who applauded when Joe Biden kicked more than 8,000 service personnel out of the military for refusing the order to take an unproven vaccine. They refused that order because they thought that order was illegal.
In the wake of that outrage, a radical Islamist, who was brought to America by the leftists in the Biden White House, drove all the way from Washington state to Washington, D.C., to kill one of America’s daughters (Sarah Beckstrom) and grievously wound one of our sons (Andrew Wolfe).
