The Vice President tells Americans to have a good weekend….
Except that it’s Memorial Day weekend. It’s one thing for anyone on JPP to tell friends “Enjoy the Long Weekend” on Memorial weekend, but for any elected official, it indicates tone deafness about what national security really means; it means thousands of graves in Arlington Cemetery and at Federal military cemeteries across the nation…..and it’s not the first time Harris have been caught clueless about the bigger picture here.
I strongly doubt Harris meant to be dispectful. It’s more likely she just doesn’t know and doesn’t care to know. She needs a better staff, preferably one with a couple of vets, maybe a retired Colonel or higher.
Harris is in a very good position to become the first woman President of the United States. My guess is it will be before 2024, but certainly an excellent shot of winning 2024. As a Commander-in-Chief in training, she needs to get her head out of her ass and start learning what that title means. Trump didn’t, but he’s about the lowest bar on the rung.
The Clintons didn’t know when they first got into office and it immediately began causing problems. Not only were they ignorant of the military,but because Bill was a draft-dodger, they were actually anti-military for the first 12-18 months before Democrats started attacking Bill, publicly and behind closed doors, on how it will hurt him in 1996 for him to hate the military and then put their lives on the line in Bosnia, Haiti and elsewhere.
Harris needs to get her shit straight because she can’t afford many more faux pas like this.
