GOP Rep Defends Former Navy SEAL Accused of War Crimes: Rep. Duncan Hunter of California is making a rather odd defense of former Navy SEAL Chief Eddie Gallagher, who’s been accused of war crimes - including shooting a teenage girl and an elderly man to death in Iraq, indiscriminately opening fire into crowds and intimidating witnesses, including fellow Navy SEALs who tried to report him. Anyway, in defending Gallagher, Hunter is admitting that he also took photos and videos of himself with dead enemy bodies while serving in the Marine Corps.
Well, we’re certainly at an interesting point in our history, when we now have elected officials proudly admitting to having committed war crimes. Is it just me, or does the Republican Party under Trump seem to be constantly inventing new ways to prove what horrible excuses for human beings they’ve become?
Of course, criminal complaints are nothing new to Duncan Hunter. After all, he and his wife are facing 60 federal charges themselves, including conspiracy, wire fraud and falsification of records over using campaign funds for personal spending - but who’s counting?
Hey, I got an idea which may help to prevent any future war crimes charges from arising. Why, now that President Trump is so tight with his BFF Kim Jong-un, perhaps he could have Kim fly over to the US and teach a few classes to top GOP cadre on the latest techniques for concealing human rights abuses? I mean, there’s nothing like hearing it from an expert.
