Mark Green, President Trump’s second choice for Army Secretary, withdrew amid pressure from progressives over his anti-LGBTQ record. Now Family Research Council President Tony Perkins is pitching Allen West to be Trump’s next pick, despite the fact that he too has an anti-LGBTQ record, suggesting it wouldn’t be an easy path for him either.

West, a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, spoke out against the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, saying it was unfortunate that gay people were serving in the military and suggesting that the best compromise was DADT.

West also criticized Barack Obama for supporting same-sex marriage, wrongly predicting that it would cost him the black vote.

His military career ended after he fired his pistol near the head of an Iraqi police officer in an attempt to gain information.

4. I want this ass

to stay far away from anything having to do with our government. I was so happy when he was voted out. I have "friends" who think he is next to God, Cheney and Trump and I agree just not the way they mean it.

Ewwww, really? Trump is an idiot and a grifter and just about anything else you can say bad about someone but Allen West? Ewwwww.
