Reagan correctly fired him from his job as Secretary of the Navy for incompetence. President Ronald Reagan wrote: “I don't think Navy was sorry to see him go.”
After that, Webb worked his way up in the corrupt Democrat Party.
In 2006, running for the Senate, Webb's operatives videotaped all of Republican opponent Allen’s speeches.
In on appearance, Allen was taunted into calling a Webb operative a “macaca”.
Webb, the Washington Post and the rest of the liberal media used this one incident to dishonestly attack Allen.
In the same campaign, Webb falsely claimed to be endorsed by Reagan who had fired him. Webb released a television advertisement, which included footage of a 1985 speech by Ronald Reagan that praised Webb's service as a Marine. The next day, the Chief of Staff for the Reagan Library wrote Webb's campaign on behalf of former first lady Nancy Reagan, urging them not to air the advertisement saying it was neither fair nor respectful because it gave the impression of an endorsement. The Webb campaign continued to run the dishonest ad.
Webb pretends to be patriotic and pro military when it suits his purpose.
Webb endorsed John Kerry in 2004. Like Kerry, Webb dishonestly plays on his military experience.
Webb tried to run for president as a Democrat in 2016. He failed miserably and quickly dropped out. He was probably just trying to become Clinton's VP nominee.
Trump should have nothing to do with this lying slime ball.
Okay, thank you for the information. If Reagan fired him and it wasn’t some sort of GOPe HW Bush set-up, that’s settles it. I vaguely remember the videotaping of Allen (actually here on FR)
Here, Jack Posobiec, this guy at Citizens4Trump, who apparently got the Paul Ryan coup on Trump correct: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/10/explosive-revelation-gop-coup-attempt-jack-posobiec-yourvoice-radio-video/
This guy Posobiec is saying everywhere that Webb is a good idea for SECDEF.
Trump should nominate George Allen for something.
It would be funny to see liberals go bananas over the “macaca” incident again. And it would fit the theme going on with Sessions, Bannon and Flynn.
Bannon - Jew problem
Flynn - Muslim problem
Sessions - KKK problem
Allen - Macaca problem
You go ahead and criticise him. I'm not qualified to weigh in on a any combat veteran. I mentioned him a few months back on this board and had mixed reactions. At the time he ran he was the only combat veteran on either side of the isle. Of course we had Lindsey Graham but he was a JAG officer.
thanks for cutting thru the BS from
See BS , a DNC pr group .
The US media is dead and buried.
Great example of Webb’s PR firm cooked up spin and SeeBS packages it as news.
All I know is instead of a small ceremony in DC when appointed he made a HUGE show, pomp and circumstance with all the midshipmen required to attend and parade in Annapolis at the Academy when he was made SECNAV in the 80s. I know because I was one of those middies.
His turnover I never figured out, despite being in at the time. Didn’t bother me one way or the other to be honest.
His books are decent and based on bits and pieces of his life. But yeah...he’s a promoter.
I read his book about the Scots Irish in America. It was interesting but not particularly well written and his personal stories bloated the book. There was plenty of patting himself and ancestors on the back.
