She is so brave for speaking out…
CNN’s Jake Tapper spoke with one of the wives of a sailor trapped in the “floating metal prison” that is the USS Abraham Lincoln in the wake of Trump declaring that the families of sailors are lying about their concerns and that the ship’s deployment, which has gone on for nearly a year, hasn’t been “nearly long enough.”
Conditions on the ship are so bad that sailors are throwing themselves off the deck.
“What was your reaction today to President Trump saying that in fact he did not think the USS Lincoln’s deployment has been quote, long enough?” asked Tapper.
Sailor’s Wife Responds to Trump
“I do not think the man thinks before he talks and I’m just, I was really hoping that at some point there would be a redemption, have some sympathy, some empathy.”
“Take some accountability for what’s going on with YOUR military, YOUR ships, in YOUR war, it’s infuriating, I mean we heard what Hegseth said yesterday, what the president is saying today, it’s infuriating, saying essentially saying that families are LYING and servicemembers are lying even though the proof is right here on my phone.”
“It is not fabricated, nobody is lying, it’s infuriating that they’re not taking accountability and not having any sort of sympathy for our service members that they claim, to scream and shout that they support when it’s politically sound for them to use” support our troops! Support our troops! “until our troops need support. And now suddenly everyone’s lying and it’s a fabrication and it’s a misrepresentation?”
Anonymous for Protection
“It’s infuriating. And I so badly would love to plaster my face and blow the whistle so loud on social media with my name and be like, this is real. We are real people. Those are real people on that ship. This is actually happening. But unfortunately, I have to protect my husband’s career.”
It is so depressing to know that this woman has to stay anonymous, because otherwise she would be branded a traitor and a lying liberal by Trump and Hegseth and barraged with harrassment and death threats from rabid MAGATs.
Welcome to life in MAGAworld, ma’am, where your husband exists as a political prop to be expended and discarded the moment its politically inconvenient for them.
Trump and Hegseth’s Priorities
Trump and Hegseth don’t care one bit about the troops or their well-being, and it’s time that all of America got it through their thick heads.
