Biden says removal of Navy captain who sounded alarm on coronavirus 'close to criminal'

Modly, who said the decision was his alone, said that Crozier"allowed the complexity of the challenge of the COVID breakout on the ship to overwhelm his ability to act professionally."

"The letter was a five-page letter from a captain, and the letter was all over the place," Trump said."That’s not appropriate. I don’t think that’s appropriate. And these are tough people. These are tough, strong people. I thought it looked terrible, to be honest with you." Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Sunday defended Modly, saying that he"made a tough decision, a tough call."

Speaking with CNN's"State of the Union," Esper also said,"We need to take care of the sailors on the ship."

Does Biden no the meaning of the word criminal? What a poor old man if his family loves him put a stop to this embarrassment!!!’n

You can’t get more stupid than Joe Biden.

Shows what this old asshole knows . There is a chain of command in our military that must be strictly followed . We don’t go around publicly announcing problems it puts lives at risk and is unprofessional.

biden wants to be commander and chief and doesnt even know what a security clearance is and the consequences of violating it

He is absolutely right!

You tell them Joe!!

Biden is an idiot. Wrong again. That ship was loaded to the hilt with nuclear defenses. The last thing you want is for a potential enemy to know much of the crew was incapacitated. The captain should have used the Chain of command.

Shut up Biden. You are screwing this up

Americans are gonna be led by a dictator if he stays in power. Pretty much where it is going with power Trump. happynotamerican

The captain did the right thing for the safety on all those on the ship and all who would try to go on the ship!

The question I have is “Did he tell his chain of command and they ignored him, or did he just go public without telling his chain of command?” Tw very different situations.

How do you figure that Joe boy ?

You don’t know what criminal is, he broke the chain of command

Does he hate McCain and the entire USA Navy ?

You never broadcast military preparedness information! That is criminal and covered in the UCMJ!

No Joe, it's not. It's a red herring and you're biting hard The guy broke chain of command during a national emergency. Military Commander showed disrespect his chain of command. Perhaps it was even warranted. But how do you trust that commander won't do it again

Lol

Joe Biden lies like a dog face pony soldier.

...betta be....

Not close! It’s criminal. Stop trying to be PC..you will not beat him unless you attack him the same way he attacks.

Joe Biden is still around? Huh, hadn't heard from him in awhile. He still running for,🤣, President

That is what Trump is.... a criminal.

When Biden takes over in January he can hire him back.

Tell him to take his Sunday Nap😴

He is close to brain dead.

So when you become president make this man secretary of the navy.

This is proof that slow joe is not presidential material.

Do not touch our military (including the high ranking officers). They’re the only leaders we have who put country above everything.

No. What is criminal is whoever, acting secretary of the Navy, not stopping a port of call in Vietnam. Acting Secretary, the buck stops with you. Trump fire him now.

4 likes and 10 hearts in 4 hours..maybe independent journalism would help..

He gave out OPSEC information, he need to be removed!

BINGO ' TO DO THIS IS A DISCRACE TO THE NAVY ' ! ITS THE CAPTAINS DUTY TO ' TAKE CARE OF HIS MEN ' FIRST IDIOTS ! TRUMP ' HELP THIS MAN OUT ' !!!!!

He needed to let his superiors know, but we do not need to let are enemies know we are weakened

Don't take shore leave in Vietnam when you know there is a pandemic.

I don’t understand why you politician make decisions when we are in a crises... if the captain stayed quite and the virus spread even further. The ship was a caravan of viruses going from port to port.

Of course Joe would say that. Remember, he’s also a Democrat, and Democrats like cutting defense spending and short changing our military personnel with regards to their paychecks. Why is it a majority of military personnel support Republicans 🤔

The Navy my Dad and husband served with won't allow civilians tell them what to do and 45 is a civilian. Has never enlisted or fought in any wars and is ignorant of their service.

Why aren't you showing this like you would if it was a REPUBLICAN

What the democrats and your family is doing to you Joe is even closer to criminal ‼️

Only in Trump’s America this captain gets fired for telling the truth while a war criminal like Gallagher gets pardoned.

Public and specific info was released by the Captain that indicated the readiness level of one of the top strategic war assets in the Navy's Pacific Fleet. JoeBiden's response indicates that he is NOT capable or qualified to be the Commander in Chief. realDonaldTrump is.

He broke all milatry protocols. I know he was trying to help his crew but there is protocols for a reason. He let it be know to china, Russia, North Korea and all if our adversaries.

It is criminal. No question about that. Just as firing IG is. But Trumps days are numbered.

In the military you respect the chain of command or you move on. He didn’t not respect it so we are moving on. JoeBiden never served so it’s no wonder he wouldn’t know this. nocluejoe

He is obviously didn’t go about the proper channels as the letter was leaked to several news outlets.... chain of command doesn’t cease to exist in a crisis. Of course Biden prolly can’t even remember what color tie he’s wearing.... so ....

Criminal is raping a woman, and never being held accountable. JoeBidenIsARapist IBelieveTaraReade MeTooNoMatterWho

Everything that Trump has ordered or has done himself has been pretty much been criminal in one way or the other.

And this is why Joe Biden cannot become president. He doesn’t understand the chain of command. JoeBiden

And yet, JoeBiden won't do anything about it. It was wrong. So was firing the IG yet again talk is cheap. All talk unless you do something about it.

I'm glad Biden isn't the president.

Ever heard of chain of command? The military takes that shit seriously.

Registom1 It is a war crime just like realDonaldTrump is a real war criminal. Trump Pence resign now.

More reason slojoe should get out now. The captain of the carrier was a hysterical ninny.

Joe knows nothing but then he worked for Obama who fired a Whistle Blower and blamed Benghazi on a video.....

That's the one thing I agree with Joe on.

Like Burisma Holdings almost criminal? JoeBiden

He has no plan. Only critique

The Captain is a coward. The Navy had to ensure that the logistics of housing 160 covid19 sailors and a place for the other 4600 sailors to self isolate. As if his command and the Navy did not care about those sailors as much as him. He is a POS and should go to jail.

All of the lives trump has RUINED, 'EQUAL BRANCH' should be doing more than WAVING GOODBYE, SAYING, 'WE SUPPORT YOU'. Now trump's KILLING people. WHAT SAY YOU?

Things are very tough for the captain😯😯

OOOPS, big mistake dude

Of course he does. ANYTHING to get an opportunity to say the exact opposite of the Republican administration. We’re so fucking tired of this nonsense that it’s not even worth you writing it and anyone reading it. It’s lame. It’s tiresome. It’s boring. Same shit, different day.

And why did BarackObama fire Generals?

👎

Absurd. Capt. jeopardized mission, ship & crew using poor OPSEC/COMSEC practices. He could have and has done so prior used secure network and delivered his concerns through his chain of command. He is charge of one of the most deadly war machines on planet. He knew better.

Trump's response expected!! He's been a bumbling fool through pandemic and his only concern; the economy, not human lives! His motivation is his family pocket book, not the American people! Some president! If we don't have healthy ALIVE military staff, we don't have a military!

CaptainCrozier has Coronavirus

Biden never served one day in the military, so he doesn’t understand how chain of command works. I don’t like what happened to Captain Crozier either, but once he copied all those folks on that email, he was going to be removed. Praying for CVN-71.

Worse.

dumbest comment ever

Si no hubiera sido por él, no hubieran salvado vidas.¡ Por Dios son seres humanos!.Es un gran capitán, hablo su instinto de ayudar al indefenso, al enfermo y de ayudar al próximo, y merece ser reconocido, su trabajo hablar por él ¡ Es un héroe! 👨‍✈️👈👏👏👏❤

Being that Sleepy Joe doesn't always know what state he is in, I wouldn't give his views much credibility.

Leaking about the possibility that an aircraft carrier is not battle ready is criminal.

Smooth Criminals

Scatter brain Biden, the Secretary of The Navy made the decision. Those damn emails keep on exposing politicians and government as corrupt bastards!

His unclass email contained numerous addresses outside of the chain of command. That was poor judgment, resulting in a leak. A Cdr cannot discuss the readiness of a national strategic asset openly. His INTENT was good; his METHOD was very poor operational security/judgement.

Agree!

That is low thinking over a military issue

TRUMP 2020 DEMOCRACK HEADS! 🇫🇷👮‍♀️👍👍👮‍♀️🇫🇷

Close?! Sounds like retaliation

TRUMP WILL CRUSH SLEEPY JOE WHO DOESN’T KNOW? 45 YEARS IN POLITICS AND GOT NOTHING DONE BUT STEAL OUR TAX 💰💰! TRUMP ROCKS 🇫🇷👮‍♀️🎸🎸👮‍♀️🇫🇷

I agree! The Captain is a hero!

Biden is closer to criminal.

It was all Trump and everyone knows it.😱😱😱

I doubt Joe Biden even knows what day it is.

Biden is not qualified to be president if he can’t see the problem with the way this captain handle the situation.

Help us Joe. The United States need rescuing. We need a President!

You nailed it joe

Yes it is, but we have no control over what potus does at this point.

digitally penetrating a woman is close to criminal as well, but hey what do I know.

This man is truly pathetic and it is sad...

I'm proud of him, he can form complete sentences now

Wow Joe. Don't get too aggressive now.

I agree with Joe... 😐

And then his wife fed him some oatmeal…

I agree with him.
