Joyless Reid can say whatever she wants about the 4th of July. That’s her right as an American.
But when I look at that flag, I don’t see oppression. I see opportunity.
I see the American Dream that I have been blessed to live.
I see a flag that has been draped over the caskets of brave men and women who never made it home.
I see the generation that stormed the beaches of Normandy, charged through machine-gun fire, and helped rid the world of fascism.
I see the sacrifices of millions of Americans who built, defended, and improved this country.
That’s why people from every corner of the world still come here chasing freedom and opportunity.
So don’t expect the rest of us to be ashamed of loving our country.
On this 250th anniversary of our independence, I’ll proudly celebrate the greatest experiment in self-government ever created, honor those who sacrificed to preserve it, and thank God for the privilege of being an American.
Respect the flag.
Respect those who fought for it. Respect the union it represents. 🇺🇸
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.
