In the statement, Kelly is confirming, on the record, a number of details in a 2020 story in The Atlantic by editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, including Trump turning to Kelly on Memorial Day 2017, as they stood among those killed in Afghanistan and Iraq in Section 60 at Arlington National Cemetery, and saying, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
Trump said he did not want to visit the graves of American soldiers buried in the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris because, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” During that same trip to France, the article reported, Trump said the 1,800 US Marines killed in the Belleau Wood were “suckers” for getting killed.
Kelly concluded, “God help us.”
Everyone should remember that when these people say these things, what they’re also telling you is that they just let it happen. They stood by and said nothing. The reason they did was because they wanted to ride the new king’s coattails. They banked on the party lasting forever… Now they’re gonna sing and cry crocodile tears.
Too little, too late! No clemency! No pity! However, please do continue. We want to make sure you have company where you’re going!
I concur with both the Dr. and the Capt. very well said
But I’ve heard all of this well before 2020… Did they rat him out ages ago, or was that another person present?
