Chelsea Manning defends decisions, says she not a traitor

NANTUCKET, Mass. – Chelsea Manning told a crowd at a “creative thinkers” conference in Nantucket on Sunday that she’s not an “American traitor” as her critics have claimed and she did what she thought was the right thing to do.

Manning attended the annual conference for The Nantucket Project in Massachusetts. The Nantucket Project is a venture founded to bring together creative thinkers to uncover the ideas that matter most. Organizers say about 600 people attended.

This was one of Manning’s first public appearances since being released from a military prison in May. The Associated Press was the only media outlet in attendance.

“I believe I did the best I could in my circumstances to make an ethical decision,” she told the crowd when asked by the moderator if she was a traitor.

The 29-year-old Manning is a transgender woman who was known as Bradley Manning when she was convicted in 2013 of leaking a trove of classified documents. She was released from a military prison in May after serving seven years of a 35-year sentence, which was commuted by President Barack Obama in his final days in office.

When the MSM is too PC and too cowardly to recognize that a mutilated man is just a eunuch with delusions they have truly become those who guard the gates of truth to make sure only evil, madness and insanity escape into the world.

Bradley manning says he is not a traitor. He also says he’s not a man. He is not a fan of telling the truth.

They tried to but reality couldn’t cope with the irony of engraving “Manning” onto it and the implosion killed or injured several engravers.

So the new legal theory is you can't prosecute someone for committing a serious crime if they don't agree that they committed the crime.

Does that apply to Conservatives also?

"Chelsea Manning defends decisions, says she he is not a traitor." Corrected headline without leftist premise and correct biological and DNA coding. What happens if "she" goes off the hormone prescription? Does Manning revert to a "he" without a penis, or an "it?"

Absolutely, and but for the traitor who just left the WH he would be.

The 29-year-old Manning is a transgender woman

No, he's a mentally ill cross-dresser.

Manning is one of the curses 0bama gave us as a gift upon leaving office. He is a traitor as well as being a walking, talking freak show.
