By Oliver Willis -March 25, 2021 11:46 AM
A large number of the pro-Trump rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol had ties to the military.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on Wednesday attacked the Pentagon's efforts to root out extremists within the U.S. military and minimized concerns about the proliferation of antisemitic materials among members of the armed forces.
The military is in the midst of a review of extremism in the ranks in all services in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump, who numbered among them a high percentage of current and former service members.
Gaetz used his time during a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee on "Extremism in the Armed Forces" to lambaste the ongoing review, calling it "total nonsense."

Hey Gaetz do you know that you rant like a some one that knows nothing and that you should resign, because apparently you didn't get the memo, that the armed forces of this country do not allow assholes to overthrow the government while serving in or out of the service, you know its in the Constitution........that they swear to defend and protect, nothing else............
And this message has been "pre-approved" by me because of my politics .............
