Republican lawmakers have called for Republican lawmakers to politicize the military after the congressional office of Major Taylor Taylor Green, along with the National Guard, a Democratic lawmaker from the Republic to Rem.
Taylor Green sent a letter On Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chief of the National Guard General Daniel Hokanson warned that “a dangerous and disturbing trend in which members of our armed forces are used to intimidate civilians, harass Congress and their staff and attack conservative journalists” Is being done for. To express their views. “
He said members of the army took an oath to support and defend the constitution.
“He didn’t sign up to play party politics and act as an extra in an ongoing culture war,” she wrote in her missile.
“Imagine if I, or any of my Republican colleagues from Georgia, marched with members of the Georgia National Guard to a Democrat member in Congressional office to record and record their staff,” Taylor Green continued .
Representative Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the House, also Expressed displeasure On “political stunts”
“@DeptofDefense is being politicized. A Twitter post on Monday stated that uniformed service members recently criticized a private citizen for his First Amendment rights, and today a jurist used soldiers in political stunts.
“@Sedef Austin – this is a dangerous example. It should stop now, ”said McCarthy.
Reactions to Green’s office visit were given by Michael San Nicolas, a noncommissioned representative of Congress to Guam.
He featured in his office on Monday, along with members of the Guam National Guard, as well as cookies and a guidebook. Videography of the episode made.
But the Congress president was not in office and was told by an aide to San Nicolas that she would “return in about 15 minutes.”
San Nicolas said they would “return the circle” because they were making deliveries to other members of Congress.
At the end of his video, San Nicolas posted a note stating: “While we haven’t heard back from Congressman Taylor Green’s office, we look forward to it, and meanwhile waiting for her cookies.”
Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando last month, Taylor Green sought to send foreign aid abroad.
“I am a regular person. And I wanted to take on our regular-person, normal, everyday American values, which, we love our country. We believe that our hard-earned dollars should go only to America, not to whom? China, Russia, Middle East, Guam, whatever, wherever, ”he said.
But San Nicolas said criticism of McCarthy, Taylor Green and other Republicans about his visit is “unfounded”.
“We were not at all in using members of the military service for political support. I was taking my guards on a tour of the Capitol, and we stayed in the office of several members, and we sent some allies, ” He said that on CNN. “Cookies should never be considered a political trend, but neither should our military.” But goodwill is absolutely something we want to extend to everyone from Guam, and my guards want to extend the same, and we are very honored to be able to have that facility. “
Guam National Guard assistant general Esther Jessie Aguigui said the force is a “nonpartisan unit”. in a statement on Tuesday.
He added, “We appreciate the efforts of Congressman San Nicolas, who represents Einfa ‘Molech to our culture, or has practiced here in Guam, bringing harmony.” “We finally thank Congresswoman Green as citizens of the United States for raising awareness of the Guamanese and for the rich tradition of service and sacrifice to our country.”
Last weekend, the Second Marine Expeditionary Force hosted Fox News to back a sneaky tweet calling Tucker Carlson a “boomer” over comments about pregnant women serving in the military.
In a later deleted tweet from his information group’s verified account, II MEF placed Carlson in a segment from his show last week, in which he spoke of efforts by the US military to accommodate service members, who are mothers. Expecting “a joke” for what the armed forces stand for.
“What does it look like in today’s Armed Forces @TuckerCarlson,” the tweet read. “Get right before you left, Boomer”
But after examining the tweet, II MEF removed it and in a reply to a critic on Saturday said it would be more prudent to use its social media platform in the future.
