That man is exactly, precisely correct . I’m a Veteran , and I never cared who I served with as long as they were good at their damn job.
I don't think we should let illegal aliens who we know nothing about in the military, seems like a risky thing to expose our military internal to possible terrorists that could infiltrate. Not like it would be the first time either.
Raskin is a very defective member of Congress !!! We meed people who are interested in the good of our country !!!!!!
What you have to know is if whoever is next to you will hold up their end so you don't get killed.
Meanwhile hundreds of black veterans have experienced racism. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't there.
Not true for me!
Take DEI and stick it where the sun doesn't shine, we want quality of our men and women in the military, not the latest and greatest fad.
How does diversity, equity or inclusion interfer?
@@kathyd9324 Are you living in an alternate universe, in what successful organization do you promote less qualified people into positions of power, other than our government. As I spent over 20 years in the military, merit counted, performance mattered, not what your skin color was, you kept your sexual preferences to yourself or what sex you were, simple enough?.
Jamey so it’s women’s reproductive healthcare when the babies born and you can murder it after it’s out of the womb is that what you think is that woman’s reproductive healthcare to you because that sounds like murder to me and a lot of other Americans you need to interview some more people
That's what DEI is, dingus.
@@TIREDOFEVIL -Yo don't know what DEI is, OF.
Lt.Col. Lohmeier - He speaks 100% hard truth!! I love this dude!!!! I imagine he was a great leader and our military is less, now, that the cowards have kicked him out, and others like him.
He is the perfect example of what our military needs and what they don't want. He can't be controlled or forced to work against the U.S. He knows right from wrong; he knows integrity.
Respect!!
Anytime, Raskin opens his mouth, you know some dumb crap is going to come out.
🤮🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
You misspelled Comer Pyle
And out and out lies
His mouth needs a good old fashioned adjustent😊🎉
That would be Waskuwee Waskins who's continual baiting rhetoric and loaded questions are par for the Left. Must be he is their golden child. Like the series, "The Color Orange is the New Black", "No One F's with Cancer!" SO he is allowed to say and run interference for his teammates.
This Lt. Col is speaking FACTS!!!! As a black man serving; I approve this message!!!
Yeah maybe its because I am old but when i served back in the 2010s if you were a racist you wouldnt make it through boot camp. If you did you sure as heck wouldnt make it at a command. It was already unacceptable in our military culture.
They know that, this is an attempt to degrade every facet of American society for the equity of China.
"As a black man serving" Who tf cares what colour you are?
Indeed! And it is also very clear that Raskin and his like are enemies of us all! They do not serve us citizens! They destroy all they can!
I've seen blacks in the military be treated like less than second-class citizens. I've seen women sexually harassed in the military. I've seen minorities treated like crap in the military. Reality argues against these bs claims made by this guy and you're okay with that. I find that odd.
Also I meant that white soldiers were treated worse sometimes than if I messed up. I’m Hispanic btw and conservative so yeah I ain’t dying to fight for this shit if we go to war.
Mic drop. Former Marine here. Lethality, ability to follow orders, dedication to duty and honor is what we need . Not victims.....
Only some orders, apparently
@@D34DH34D4LYF Brilliant!
DEI is in no way interfering with the lethality of the US military. It's interfering with the bigotry of the US military. It's challenging people to accept others who they normally bully and exclude. It's about growing the F up... And recruitment numbers are way down. DEI is absolutely necessary to support the new recruits who are needed!
@sotthapana obviously you were not in the military. There is no color, only green and dark green. Hell, all my DIs were minorities. It was and is a diverse fighting force. I was in 99 to 06, all walks of life in my unit... so what DOES enforcing DEI have anything to do with making sure our boys can put rounds down range and on target? I'm cuban/Japanese. Had every South American race, black, Armenian, white, and Asian...... and women (crew chiefs so combat rolls). Yeah, we need FORCED DEI... sell out more to Marxist ideas
@@MITWRONGME Perhaps you're a great soldier, but it doesn't sound like you know anything about DEI at all, buddy. DEI means more recruits who can naturally express their talents in a supportive environment. Marginalized people need more supports like this... It will increase lethality by ensureing the military has the staff it needs. It has nothing to do with meritless promotions.... That's simply corruption.
9:20 lol “so don’t BS me”! Finally a vet that really calls these clowns out
👊🇺🇲
Biden is turning our military into a shit show.
potty mouth for 10 bonus points. How about using language that is appropriate during a formal business meeting in the people’s house? it’s not karaoke night at Hooter’s. Get a decent haircut and cut back on the Armor All.
@@MR-zf2dihonesty is q problem to you ? With honest language
If he had responded that way while he was in the military he would not have been in the military very long.

He’s afraid we know what the baal worshipers are up to.

Marxist revolution afoot. Its only just coming out for what it is. Vote Trump and America First only. It will take a decade or more to fix the venom they injected.
This is why we need term limits. Career politicians suck on both sides.
Well I agree whole heartedly with that-But it will NEVER happen. They are ones who vote on this.
Term limits are a cop out.
Bigly too!
Particularly on the disgusting Raskin side, I’d say.
We need a nation wide petition so the people can decide the term limit issue!
absolute truth when he says, you never served you dont know what your talking about here. How many times have I and fellow Vets thought that very same thing. Politicians truly must believe they know everything
I stand with this Lt. Colonel❤️☮️🇺🇸
As a female firefighter paramedic who had no DEI or any help getting women or any other group in or to advance anyone. I had to pass all tests on my own merit and my was always a strong supporter of that. If I was down in a fire and required rescue I don’t want a DEI firefighter rescue me I want one that could do the job. The fact that someone is passed over for a job or promotion not because they are more qualified but don’t check the box of required ethnicity, color, or gender is violation of title 64 period. It doesn’t matter if you do it to a man, women, transgender, black, white, purple if you aren’t choosing on qualifications and merit alone it’s racism and it’s against the law.
Amén!
Nailed it!
Thank you that was excellently well said and we need to get back to that principle.
Amen sister 🙌🙏✋🤚👏
Health care? What happened to protecting a venerable group?
“Most people in this room don’t know what they are talking about” that says it all about the United States Government.
Most Politicians in that room only know how to line their pockets and that's it!

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Unfortunately, today, we are being asked more than ever to make policy, business, and hiring decisions on the basis of a person's skin color, rather than the content of their character.
In case you missed it, the entire history of this country has been people being DENIED things based SOLELY on their skin color, or orientation, or sex. Countless laws, policies and even the Constitution have legalized and required discrimination against certain demos.
It's whyyyy... MLK saidd... in the part you quotedddd.... that he dreams of a day when people will be judged by their character. When people CONTINUE to want legal discrimination against gays and blacks and others, that dream is not close to reality.
Instead of complaining about policies attempting to address the national, systemic historic discrimination against minorities, perhaps complain about the people demanding the "need" to oppress.
listen to the whole speech, not just the Cliff Notes version
So are you saying if you listen to the whole speech he contradicts this?
FINALLY......someone calling these politicians out, and not letting them put words in their mouths
what words did the politicians put in his mouth?
Other than Lohmeier giving a speech about Black Lives Matter and Marxism, that had nothing to do with Jamie Raskin’s question.
'We should have army bases named after confederate generals, nazi generals' are the words he put in his mouth (6:49).@@timothyepowell8388

Thank you, Lt Col Matthew Lohmeier!! Bravo!!!
Clearly you watched a different video to me. The guy brings up his book. Raskin wiped the floor with him. Just because he served doesn't mean he's immune to stupidity and ignorant views.

This Veteran said it all, as a Veteran myself, I have worked with people of all sorts of backgrounds and cultures, going to combat with them, I saw only A US Army soldier next to me who would lay down their life for me and vice versa. The best and most skilled soldier got the job done right in my US Army unit and I get emotional, distressed, and downright furious about these DEI talks. A lot of these politicians haven't been in combat and do not know what it means to be color-blind and trust another person with his or her life, and if they did and are spewing this crap, shame on them.
Congressmen should be drafted. At least for bootcamp. Maybe they would get a new perspective.
Yeah 100% But this idea that the forces "depend" on any one race or gender bothers me, we depend on each other and this just makes the folks they mentioned feel separated from the rest. I never cared what color the Marine, soldier airman etc. Next to me was. Period.
We must insist our tax money doesn't go for abortions and gender reassignment surgery- any where or any time.
@@Juliet475 I bet these politicians will change their tune if we all stop paying our taxes
I would prefer nothing but the bravest and devoted to serving my country. Not because they are gay, trans, black or brown. And not because I want votes.
"Gerrymandered Supreme Court"-? How the hell can the Supreme Court be gerrymandered? That's from a rep from the state that ended up in the supreme court for being gerrymandered
Just a hypocrite on every subject. Probably NEVER had a real job.
Whatever they accuse you of is what they are currently in the process of doing. Fruedian projection.
let’s review - McConnell STOLE a Scotus seat from Obama who was elected not once, but twice. McConnell then trampled his new precedent when it was convenient for him. Doing so yielded Trump 3 spots on the Court, when he should have had two. We SHOULD have a 5/4 center/right leaning court capable of compromise - not the group we have. I no longer tolerate the “head’s we win, tails you lose” approach of the GOP
Everybody knows that Obama could have picked a Supreme Court Judge before he left office but the Republican Senate stopped him. If the Dems had done the same thing to say one of the Bushes they would have screamed bloody murder. That is how a Supreme Court is gerrymandered. Roe Vs Wade was overturned by that fact.
He means adding more conservatives - generally, gerrymandering means creating an imbalance so one side will have an advantage. However, this is an absolutely idiotic use of the term because he is insinuating that Trump should have appointed equal liberal and conservative justices as if either side would ever, ever do that. It’s gaslighting and manipulation at it’s best. I swear these people must take seminars on how to use manipulative language.
This dude was way underused as a field grade officer. We should have guys like him in the general grades making decisions. I think that age and time in service should be reevaluated once merit-based performance is back on the menu.
Absolutely Brilliant Speech Col. Lohmeier🇺🇸ITS TIME FOR ACCOUNTABILITY IMMEDIATELY!!!
Woke = Critical Consciousness. Critical consciousness is the core of social justice teaching as it is understood within the Critical Theories. It is a heightened awareness of the world and the power structures that shape it. Being Woke means viewing society exclusively through the critical lenses which sees the world only in terms of unjust power dynamics (oppressed/oppressor) and the need to dismantle problematic systems as an activist. That is, it means having adopted Theory and the worldview it conceptualizes. Under “wokeness,” this awakened consciousness is set particularly with regard to issues of identity, like race, sex, gender, sexuality, and others.
The term originated in Portuguese as conscientização from the popular post-Marxist Brazilian activist and educator Paulo Freire, usually deemed the father of critical pedagogy (that is, the application of critical theories to the theory of education). It is an evolved Hegelian/Marxian religious cult that hides as human rights, politics, science, art and culture.
“A quiet revolution can be dispersed throughout a culture over a period of time to destroy it from within. Mass psychology and media can break the traditions, beliefs and morals and the will of a nation so there is no possibility of resistance. Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity. In the new order, Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society.”
-Antonio Gramsci (The Prison Notebooks 1929-1935)
DEI: Diversity is an excuse to install political officers (commissars). Equity is a rebranding of socialism; an administration that enforces equal outcomes at the expense of merit. Inclusion is to censor and purge anyone that disagrees with them.
"The point of DEI is to destroy your organization from within and turn it into an ethnocommunist asset by slowly breaking and replacing the institutional culture via Critical Theory. It's crucial to understand that the Left operates strategically, guided by a framework known as 'dialectical political warfare'. They use our vocabulary but not our dictionary." -James Lindsay

100% and that should be a requirement. As well as blanket physical fitness requirements, ACROSS THE BOARD, regardless of gender. Can’t hack it? GET OUT. Of course Raskin doesn’t want women to be forced to do anything that they do not want to do, he might as well be one.
Lol
“Reproductive freedom?” It should be called “destructive freedom” since “reproduction” means to “produce”.
Remember when women in the military were allowed to participate in combat? During the Iraq war a female was captured by the Iraqis and was raped, and the feminists were outraged.
What did they think was going to happen?
History should not be destroyed. Some good some bad therefore none of it should be destroyed!
As someone currently living in Maryland, Jamie Raskin is a COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT to not only Maryland, but the US Senate, and the ENTIRE country.

Imagine the morale of Black soldiers, after a century of racism of the Status Quo. Imagine the Black men and women passed up and over the ranks because it wouldn't "look right". After the desegregation of the military in 1948, most of the military ignored the order altogether. In a way, this order reflected how Southern Whites viewed the 1954 Supreme Court verdict and ruling to end racial segregation. But in 1957, the Arkansas governor stood in front of the doors of the high school, refusing to allow nine Black students to attend, THREE YEARS after the racial desegregation law. Not only did Governor Faubus stand in front of the school door, he had 10,000 Arkansas National Guard standing with him. Long story short, President Eisenhower had to send 10 members of the Military to take over the National Guard and make them leave so that the students could attend. Are you sure that you and your conservative friends want to talk about "morale"? Morale is based on the whole unit, I suppose. So if one group is being demoralized for being part of that group, is it still for morale sake? The actions being done today aren't there to demoralized White recruits, soldiers, or the brass. The military is just being asked to come into the 21st century. Or maybe, Black and other classes of people don't deserve to be part of the unit that gets the moral speech.
@@rhunt0210the black soldiers I’ve talked to Couldn’t disagree more with you.
@rhunt0210 funny you bring up the students when we have black students wanting segregation now so you can't have it both ways?
The most terrifying word/act from a politician is when they want to interfere in a system they don't know about.
Like women’s healthcare. Or actually anyone’s medical healthcare.
So like, all of em?
I DO know about the program and the Lt. Col is the one who doesn't know how it works. He's got the VERY basics and he still managed to be wrong about those. He's very "brave", very articulate, but if he thinks all is hunky-dory in the military because he, his black general and his transgender friend all get along, he is SORELY mistaken. HE and the others are GOOD guys. There are STILL SO MANY BAD ONES THERE. And the problem....is UPPER MANAGEMENT who do not want to change! The numbers DO translate a problem. Witnesses to discrimination DO record discrimination. But UPPER MANAGEMENT protects their own and their little proteges and makes cases and careers disappear.
@@gaiagoddess8009 The current Secretary of Defense is a case study of "failing up" because he was in with the right people. For reference, look no further than his time as XVIII Airborne Corps Commander (the Drinkwine Reign of Terror that he ran out the clock on and left for his successor to fix), his time as US Forces-Iraq Commanding General (the drawdown happened the way it did because he refused to make a decision), and his time as CENTCOM Commanding General (The rise of ISIS/ISIL happened under his watch). You don't basically get demoted from being a Geographic Component Commander (the 6 GCCs report directly to the SecDef per Goldwater-Nichols) to being the Vice Chief of Staff for a service if you are doing well.
Oh, and maybe you can explain why the Army Physical Fitness Standard for 17-21 year old females is equivalent to the Army Physical Fitness Standards for 52-56 year old males.

When did empathy, understanding your neighbor and caring for the community become Marxist?
@@kathyd9324 learn about Marxism, then learn about what Critical Theory is, then move to Critical Race Theory, Then learn about DEI. Literally go in that order, do some research and you will understand what is being talked about. Just because someone says they are a good person or that they do good things does not mean they are. Just because someone says that a group or organization stand for something does not mean they do. Just look at Mark Cuban and Elon Musk's fued. Cuban tried to explain DEI the way its always explained by those that push it, but the explanation never matches up with how it is practiced. Terrorists believe they are doing right but ethically, logically, reasonably, and morally they are absolutely 1,000,000% not right at all. This why context and context clues are taught at a young age, so that people are not easily swayed just because they read or hear someone say something.
I believe if we erase history we repeat it. But there are studies that the more we speak of crimes the more they become repeated. So removing items based on this study I feel makes sense. But natzi names on USA military buildings is a insult to the very nature of service. I do agree that service culture questions not ideology government push as it changes when office change. And to last longer it's easier to just stay out of anything like names of building. They should have a say, it's their nation too.

2000 election was proven to have been won by Gore. I don't remember taking opposing 2004. 2016 was proven to have so much Russian interference that the electrical college was pushed in trump's direction. Putin didn't do it for trump. He did it because he hated Hillary. That's why comey launched the phony investigation right before the election. Yet Hillary still won the popular vote. That can't be gerrymandered!

as long as they are old enough to vote ..
During WWII I wonder how many American bullets had the name Hitler etched onto them.
@@vincentferrigno9726 Raskin is the one defending transgenders, not Lt. Col. Lohmeier.
@@DudeSoWin in the European theater ... I suspect everyone of them
The VERY BEST witness I have EVER heard from all this BS! What a Patriot! Thank God we still have REAL people around who don't look DEMON and have IQ's of a ROCK!! I Salute you Lt. Col. Lohmeier!
I served in the military for 22 years. I served at 10 military bases in the United States and overseas in addition I deployed to Saudi during the first gulf war. I am Hispanic and I never saw or ran across white supremacy OR hints of white supremacy while in the military. At one base I migrated towards the black group because growing up I lived in a multi-cultural neighborhood comprised of mostly Hispanics and Blacks and so I naturally thought I'd feel more comfortable with my black counterparts. Until then I had never felt prejudice, but I was totally and soundly rejected by my fellow airman wow big shock. So I went to hang out in the dayroom with the white guys, the first thing they did was great me with a friendly handshake and offer me a beer. Then they invited me to go boating on the lake with them on during the next weekend. No, I never experienced or even saw evidence of white supremacy in my 22 years in, but I sure as hell felt the sting of prejudice by my black counterparts.
Nailed it.......Amen!!!
The confederacy is part of our history as a country. We don't run from our history we embrace it.
Amen!
We don't embrace mistakes, we learn from them.
Dems want to destroy them because they were the ones owning slaves 🤣
@@DonaldBenko yeah, we do flop about like fish, sometimes.
confederacy was traitors
Lohhmeier is the voice, a strong voice of reason and truth that we need more of! Please come back sir we need you and more like you to help protect our country from the likes of rascal Raskin!
A pleasure to hear
Preach it brother!
Raskins never fails to look like a freaking idiot! Thank you Col. Lohmeier for your honest assessment!
He is so damn good at it, too!!
How did he ever get elected?
Lohmeier is a man of common sense and I respect him tremendously!
So, common sense includes transgender!!
and RatSkin is a rodent.....
He's definitely something subhuman @@peterlitwinczuk5403
Hes a guy that supports ignorance and lives by it.
When did empathy, understanding your neighbor and caring for the community become Marxist?
Thank you ❤
The fact that they keep saying banned tells you how ignorant they know their voters. the power was given to the states to vote on by the citizens of that state.
Lohmeier is awesome for standing up and telling it like it is. We need many more witnesses that do this. I’ve heard him several other times and he makes so much sense and is right on everything he says.
you the transgender airmen?
How do you know that the Lt. Col. is right where is your research?
@@rachelmiller7525 I would point to his long extensive resume in the Air Force and then Space Force, the daily declining numbers in people enlisting and that CTR/DEI is not working for anyone. Is there a particular place you would like to go with this?
I don't think there is anywhere to go with all of this because what he has is just his opinion I'm sure there are many who disagree with him, I being one of them. I wouldn't lean on his resume he disagrees with officers with longer resumes. @@louisianameme675
DEI is the single largest mistake our Govt has made in the last 10 years.@@louisianameme675
Raskin doesn't even know the definition of "gerrymandered."
He's right. We keep statues up so we don't forget.
We've forgotten a lot if political representatives can get away with calling Confederates traitors when they were backed by the Constitution and Lincoln was the one violating many of the Amendments as well as the entire basis of the legitimacy of the colonies leaving British rule. 😂
The Union committed treason against the Constitution. The South rejected that.
Great job Colonel!
Thank you for your voice Mr. Lohmeier
This guy is 100% right. God bless him.
WHO?
Yeah but god is not real lol!
Hey, he once worked with a trans person and once admired a black person. Expertise established.
No he's not. No women or trans person is becoming a navy seal just because of DEI. It's a totally insane argument. DEI is there to support people who regularly face abuse for their identities. The people who oppose DEI are simply opposing any recognition or support for marginalized people because this is exactly how bigots act. They want the full freedom to bully and exclude marginalized people. Oldest game in the world.
@@D34DH34D4LYFBTW, What's your expertise in the military? I'm an ex vet of 10 years in UKSF...GOOGLE IT
The floor got pretty quiet once he stopped speaking.
Roe vs Wade wasn't law it was a court ruling about something that isn't in the constitution nor is it a federal law. So the court simply ruled they were wrong to rule on it 50 years ago
Amen brother. Unless their woke, people don't care about all the this BS😅
Lt. Col. Mathew Lohmeier, My greatest gratitude for your Honest, no bull crap testimony. You are EXACTLY CORRECT!! Sir, your Country NEEDS YOU TO Run for a government office to HELP us BOOT out The NO-Gooders in office now!!
O shut up
This DEI has been going on since the 60's...or at least the groundwork was laid. We as Americans can have a Black History Month, Or a Spanish Heritage Month, but how about a White History Month, or a White Entertainment Channel? And as for African American, Mexican Americans and Asian Americans...They are Americans only. Don't put other countries before the word Americans if you want the freedoms that come with the title Americans. You don't have Americans who live in Ireland germany or italy calling themselves, American Irish, American Germans, or American Italian.
i feel the same way about dual citizienship! An person of Irish descent by a grand parent and have both US and Irish passports. I feel that if you want to call yourself American, you forfeit dual citizenship. There's more to it than that, but I can just go out and get dual citizenship as a person of Irish descent because my immigrant connection is a great-grandfather not grandfather. Seems just a little bit discriminatory and arbitrary. Sorry for the rant!@@danielbrown3461
@@KeithRowell-ix2qg Shut up? Why? Everyone has a right to voice their opinion.
@@KeithRowell-ix2qgWhat is it you disagree with?
Thank God for Lt. Col. Lohmeier! My son had the same experience with the military. He was forced out in a most illegal way for advocating against unpatriotic behavior in his sons’ school.
What was the so called “unpatriotic behavior”? You surmise it that way so let’s hear what the actual issue was… can’t wait to hear this one
I know it was unpatriotic for my son because the Marines did not even follow their own regulations about his “case”. NCIS investigated the allegations against my son and found them baseless. A superior officer took a junior officer’s testimony and lied to the convening authority about it ( we have the proof). I could go on but you should get the idea. Thank you!
@@tobyeperkins697 That’s still unhelpfully vague. I’m not saying you’re wrong. Im saying that if you’re trying to prove it a point, you haven’t done it. It’s up to you whether you choose to elaborate or not.
The “unpatriotic behavior” was the school saying the students could watch Trump become president. However his son’s teacher refused to allow him or his class to watch because she didn’t agree with him winning. As a former teacher, I consider this very unpatriotic behavior because we, teachers, should allow our students to experience the changing of our presidency as a matter of history, regardless of my own political beliefs!
@@tobyeperkins697God is fictional
Love Lohmeier, speaks the truth. The military should be about performance, period.
Good lord what a speech
God bless this man. We need to have more guys just like him.
I don't know how Raskin looks at himself in the mirror with any conscience.
BLINDLY, obviously, or he wouldn't be how he is.
In the military, you have to know that the people next to you have your back and are not going to have a mental breakdown. Simple as that.
Good for you mate, well done.
The military has a purpose and it is not to pander to ANYONE!!!! Get the best to defend this country…. I couldn’t care less if that excludes my mother my father my sister my sons my friends… you pick the best people to defend the country… period.
TRUTH SPOKEN. THANK YOU 💪
What happens after you enlist and find out that it's not about how hard you work, but who your buddy up in ranks is? Are you aware that this still happens...if you ever served?? I am in touch with DEI managers, Navy and Air Force. It's no better than it was 20 years ago. Did you know that this program is that plus many years old? Women are still sexually assaulted and cases dismissed, and are passed over for promotion because they don't know the right people. Same for blacks and Latinos. It is still very much a white "good ol' boys club". Believe it or don't.
Have you served?
@@ce731 I have three siblings that have served do you have any questions?
Sorry, but no. Not period. People also truly need support of DEI committees/groups in order to have the opportunities to express their amazing strengths. Survival of the fittest is not the only way to develop great talent. People who have been doubted and discriminated their whole lives need to know the organization is there to give them a chance.
Rat-skin is a master of trying to put words into the mouths of other people. But he didn't expect what was coming when his bullsht was thrown back into his face.
He is a child. He cannot let anyone speak without interrupting. The 'man' is incapable of having an adult conversation.
Outstanding job !
Did he seriously say “gerrymandered Supreme Court?” That’s not what that word means.
Sorry your so dense you can't understand the implications made by recognizing facts.
Raskin lied. The Supreme Count did not outlaw abortion. They simply said each state must decide how they will handle that. The Constitution clearly states what is not described herein will be the domain of the states.
The sheep were never taught civics to know how our govt actually works. Now their "reps" try for soundbytes in order to keep their cushy gigs.
R a t S k i ns lied?
What do you expect from someone who had a meltdown defending Ray Epps telling people to go inside the capitol for jan 6th? Who was called a fed by the crowd around him as it was so obvious. Ray Epps only got probation for inciting people to enter the capitol ON VIDEO.. why did raskin defend Ray Epps? They are in on it.
That's outlawing abortion. Look at what states are doing. And SCOTUS knew their ruling would have its desired effect. Just a bunch of justices w/fake "Christian values" not following the premise of separating church and state. SCOTUS is corrupt 🗑
Raskin is a liar
Raskin can't speak for more than 3 seconds at a time without lying. It is amazing. Puts words in other's mouths.
What did he say that was a lie?
@@EvonZundelThe women that serve are amazing. It's important to note though that you can't swap out personnel without regards to skill. He won't admit that, it's all politicized dei to him.
@@EvonZundelhe literally accused the Lt. Colonel of supporting naming military bases after Nazis.
@@-Monad- No, he didn't. He asked the guy a question who REFUSED to answer and INSISTED on instead going on his own monolog. After trying to reclaim his time and the chair saying "let him finish", the guy CONTINUED to ramble on withOUT answering Raskin's question.
So Raskin, trying to summarize the word salad the guy was saying, asked if he supported naming bases in that fashion. There was no lying or "accusing" the guy at all.
Raskin uses logic. And rhetoric. that confuses and enrages the MAGAS
They should ask Raskin who's been going through some health issues if he wants the best doctors looking at him, the doctors with a good track record of performance, or does he want the doctors placed in that position based on DEI?
Yes Yes Yes!!!! BRAVO Mr Lohmeier!!!!! 🙏🙌
Raskin is just a little queen who has know idea of what he speaks.
Beta!
And what name would you call MTG. I know how MAGA somehow insists on calling people names or giving them some type of derogatory label. Trump trains well.
Thank you Col Lohmier.. You are absolutely correct. Politics have been pushed on our servicemen and it's irrelevant who caused it. Merit and talent and character are all that matters. Period.
When did empathy, understanding your neighbor and caring for the community become Marxist?
@@kathyd9324when it is forced
Yes, it was by playing fox anti-American propaganda at military bases.
In the levels of pure sliminess politicians to meet Jamie Raskin is right up near the top
@@Lyaworski123
Isn’t that what the Bible says to do? Who’s forcing it on you, God?
So if he doesn’t wanna just answer the question, then he needs to be stopped. It isn’t his time to speak but yet we’re gonna let him speak about whatever he wants to what a waste of our time.
Politicians should be kept away from life endangering institutions
