House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday ripped President Trump's presidential memorandum banning transgender individuals from serving in the military.
"The commander-in-chief is ordering the Pentagon to hurt and humiliate thousands of Americans who serve in our military with strength and courage," Pelosi said in a statement.
"Prejudice, not the national defense, is behind President Trump's cruel decision to kick transgender troops out of the military," she said.
"The President of the United States should have more respect for the transgender men and women who had the patriotism and bravery to serve our country in uniform."
Pelosi's comments come just after Trump signed a memorandum that instructs the Pentagon to stop allowing transgender people to enroll in the military.
The memo also instructs Defense Secretary James Mattis on how to further handle transgender service members currently enrolled in the armed services.
It requests that the department develop an implementation plan by Feb. 21 and to be implemented by March 23.
Trump first announced he would be banning transgender individuals from the military in a tweet last month.
I’m sure the rank and file of the military are thrilled with the ban and don’t feel the least bit hurt or humiliated.
Ask the female members who no longer have to “get used to” showering with someone who had man parts. Ask the military members who won’t need additional sensitivity training.
BTW he didn’t say get rid of them he said determine if they are deplorable and get rid of those who are not
Yea but did he cry wolf in a crowded theater?
No, Bug Eyes, the person who hurt and humiliated the military is the commie muslim fag Obama.
We dont have thousands of trannies in the military.
They all are hurting now because they are mentally ill.
the senile and incompetent Pelosi does give two shits about our military - hypocrite
Yes, how will the military survive without trannies in it, everybody knows they are all rambo-like supersoldiers. (eyeroll)
As a rule of thumb,& it’s a good one...if Pelosi is against it,then it’s the right thing to do.
Active Duty ping.
Yes you are pretty safe following that rule. You could use Franken or Maxine Waters or Sheila Jackson Lee (who will soon be taken down by antifa) as that same rule too.
If it’s good for the Country, the democrats hate it. If it hurts the Country, the democrats love it.
Pretty simple.
The military doesn’t need the kind of baggage these people can bring. Not saying that they always WILL,but the possibility is certainly there.
No Nancy, you have President Trump confused with the idiot he replaced.
I for one am sorry. Who we going to have break seal on their protective mask first after a gas attack now ?
Pelousi is one sick *itch
