Communist West Point graduate 2nd. Lt. Spenser Rapone called Secretary of Defense James Mattis the most “evil, vile f***” in the entire Trump administration.
After reports emerged tying Rapone to the Twitter account @punkproletarian on Monday, West Point issued a statement distancing itself from Rapone’s tweets, which included calling for political violence against the right, referring to Trump as a fascist, and openly promoting communism while in uniform. West Point also noted that Rapone’s chain of command had opened an investigation.
But one of the tweets which has so far escaped attention is Rapone denigrating Mattis in the most vulgar of terms.
In a tweet dated June 8, 2017, Rapone tweeted at a podcaster, stating: “Was so pumped for you to go in on Mattis on the latest ep. Definitely the most vile, evil fuck in the current administration.”
Not only that, but Rapone also attacked Vice President Mike Pence in a tweet from August: “Holy s*** what world do these people live in? “Mediocre and conservative?” Pence is a fucking medieval, cold-blooded killer.”

Such statements run the risk of violating Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. According to Article 88, “Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”
The maximum punishment under Article 88 is dismissal from the military, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and prison for a year.
Rapone also had interesting things to say about elected officials, as well, saying in one tweet from July: “Fuck John McCain. Will happily dance on his grave.”
There is no one left to prosecute him.
They are all “down with the shtruggle”.
In my day this cat would have been hung from his nuts in the middle of the barracks during his first week at the Point. What’s up with the politically correct approach to training our Nation’s leaders?
Too bad he’s not still at West Point so he could be summarily expelled.
Is this self avowed communist still going about his daily routine at West Point, or has he been separated from the others? This guy is toxic and dangerous. He is Antifa material. How did he ever get into West Point? Maybe his family decided for him, and he never did want to be there.
This flamer will be a hero before it’s all said and done.
Well, he's not ALL bad..................
If he’s not prosecuted, then the rules are not worth the paper they are written on. Apart from his speech, the fact that he’s a communist is a huge security risk. If he were a Nazi, would he be allowed to stay in the armed services? Well, communism is even worse (based on # of people killed by communist regimes).
He’s not black. In other words, HE’S IN TROUBLE!
I think an appropriate remedy would be Extra Military Instruction under the guidance of marines chosen by Mattis for the task. Starting at 5 AM each day until the lessons on appropriate military decorum are properly drilled in.
Doubt it, the officer corps was purged of warriors during the Kenyanesian Usurpation and only those who support transgenders and Islam were retained.
There were really good reasons the founders insisted on someone with no foreign ties, born here of citizen parents, a natural born citizen as President.
Like Bradley Manning
This ahole is a former enlisted Ranger with combat experience...I don’t know how he came to Hudson High, but he got there...
He should be beaten to hell, though...
I have been saying for years that the left was infiltrating the right. I think that people thought it wasn’t possible that even those who were trained would be able to do so, especially in a conservative environment. Apparently this guy was able to do it, and he wasn’t some highly trained commie operative.
Where are the FReepers who were calling this story fake yesterday?
He better be in huge trouble.
I sure would like to know who appointed/sponsored this communist to West Point.
Rapone apparently wants and early discharge so he can begin his community organizer career, before moving on to politics.
They will kick him out and charge him for the cost of his college education at West Point, BUT BUT BUT they must also find out who nominated this piece of shit and investigate that Democrat (zero chance it was a Republican).
