BREAKING: HELL YES! Progressive star commentator unleashes a nuclear takedown of the entire Republican Party for betraying our military service members.
Don't EVER let these fascists wave the flag again...
"The Republican Party for decades has exploited the service of military people. You have to realize that the recruiters go into very poor neighborhoods and recruit the poorest among us and they send them to frontlines," Welch said on her IHIP News podcast. "It's not Dick Cheney's kid. It's not Barron. It's not Pete Hegseth. It's not JD Vance, Ben Shapiro who's all rah, rah, sis boom bah about the war with Iran. His ass is not going to go fight on the frontlines!"
"And then they never fund the warrior," she continued. "They never fund them when they get back. All of this is to fund the military-industrial complex."
This is an undeniable observation that conservative voters somehow turn a blind eye to. Republican politicians refuse to properly fund the Department of Veterans Affairs or provide real healthcare to our troops because they'd rather give that money to billionaires in the form of tax cuts. They'll gladly send other people's sons and daughters to get maimed and killed in foreign countries only to then leave them to rot once they're back stateside.
"Republicans have lied for decades about supporting the military," said Welch. "They use it as a manipulative exploitation at the ballot box. Because so many people have no culture, no culture in their towns. They live in cookie cutter neighborhoods. There's no arts. There's no diversity. So they cling on, just like Obama said, they cling onto gods and guns. And they cling onto this idea of patriotism."
"And the Republicans brilliantly exploit that, and they exploit it to the hilt, and they have for decades," she continued. "It is a lie that the Republicans are good with the economy. It is a lie that the Republicans give a shit about the troops. It is a lie that Republicans give a shit about balancing the budget. It's a lie that they're patriotic."
"These guys are parasites. They exploit Americans for very, very, very few people," she said.
One need look no further than Trump's illegal war with Iran for the proof of Welch's assessment. American soldiers are dying in a conflict that provides no benefit to our national interests, all because Israel wanted to destroy a regional adversary. Meanwhile, the defense contractors are growing fat off the bloodshed while Americans foot the bill in the form of taxes and higher gas and grocery prices.
There is nothing "patriotic" about the Republican desire for Forever Wars. It is the most profound form of betrayal.
Please ❤️ and share if you think that Democrats are the real patriots!
@WhiteHouse@POTUS He's a liar. The economy was improving. We had the respect and cooperation of our Allies. We weren't leveling arbitrary and unnecessary tariffs on our friends and neighbors. AND, mainly, we were not involved in an unnecessary war led by 2 idiots.
@NYJetsTFMedia I'm a guy who never thought Justin Fields could be that bad. Hard to get too excited about Geno, but the Jets have given him multiple weapons. 🙏🙏 Please make it work.
@SpeakerJohnson@POTUS Mike Johnson is not only a disgrace to Christianity. He's a disgrace to humanity. I don't know how he sleeps with his boyfriend at night.
