On CNN’s “NewsCentral,” Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) unleashed a barrage of unfounded insults against President Trump, calling him an “idiot” who lacks any grasp of military operations. This kind of rhetoric is not just reckless; it shows a disturbing disregard for the facts.
When pressed about the president’s hypothetical use of American cities as military training grounds, Gallego made it clear that he is out of touch with reality. He stated, “Most U.S. citizens will stand against that in civil protests.” Let’s be clear: The American spirit is rooted in freedom and resistance against tyranny, not blind obedience to politicians who seek to undermine our rights.
Moreover, Gallego’s comments reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of the military oath. He asserted that U.S. service members would never fire upon their own citizens. It takes a special kind of ignorance to assume that any leader would want such a scenario. Patriots in uniform stand ready to defend the Constitution—not a specific president—and they are committed to serving the American people above all else.
Finally, Gallego assured the audience that he and his colleagues would use every constitutional measure available to hold anyone accountable who threatens our civil liberties. This is not only appropriate; it’s essential. The military’s loyalty lies with the Constitution, a principle that will guide our servicemen and women in any situation. We must demand accountability from our leaders and ensure that our freedoms remain protected against any misguided notions of power.
