Secretary of Defense and Chairman ESPER NEEDS YO RESIGN .. Esper handled terrible RESIGN

I am sorry. I truly believe this is a very intelligent man but also conflicted...you know...right or wrong...good or evil...Trump or 'Hell, no!' It's really hard to believe all these people have their noses up Trumps ass and think nothing about how it impacts our country & people

Good to see but he lied about the tear gas.

OMG, you found them.

Trump lost command over the federal troops? Defense Secretary Esper’s press conference at the Pentagon’s makes it look like that.

No worries

Not long after Secretary Esper advocated the continued rioting and looting of American citizens.

How about after 3 police were injured tonight with one stabbed in the neck? When do we decide to protect the country ?

Ok Esper--Looks like we got it covered

I got $5 on him being fired in 2 weeks

That's nice. We are at war with a domestic terrorist organization and it should be treated as such. Now release all the names that donate to said terrorist organization and arrest them. Thanks.

Let me try to understand this: The military is vetoing and voiding the President's order, and you all celebrate this because this is a sign of a strong democracy? 🤣

Now. How about Monday ?

Arrest trump enoughs enough he’s breaking too many laws

Guess he is next on the chopping block

Has he grown a set?

Yet

Insurrection act used against protesters peacfully demonstrating the injusticeof a man murder in daylight by a cop, not used against armed 'militia' taking over a government building because they are to dumb to stay home and wear a mask. Got it. Merica

If he did, would you resign, EsperDoD? Seriously. I'm asking. So answer. Yes or No.

MAIN STEAM MEDIA, THE DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS AND THE ELLITES INVOKE RACE NARRATIVES TO DIVIDE US AND FEAR TO CONTROL US. THEY SHOULD ALL BE ACCOUNTABLE! TRUMP 2020🇺🇸 USA UNITE GEORGE FLOYD❤️

Simply false. There were videos taken from several different angles. Why is he denying this? Is the narrative that it was the police who fired the tear gas and rubber bullets? Or is the narrative that it never happened? Because we watched it happen on live tv.

This is protest against cruelty,discrimination not for separate America.Why, sedition laws?

Q

Yes and when you post this also say that he was entering a battlefield. Stop giving half truths
