Liberals Freak Out Over TX General In Military Uniform Standing Behind Trump During Border Visit
During Donald Trump’s visit to the U.S. southern border this week, a man in full military uniform stood behind the Republican presidential candidate while he delivered a speech.
Trump Derangement Syndrome-suffering leftists on social media immediately assumed the man was a member of the U.S. Air Force and shunned him for violating code.
Newsweek even posted an article, titled, “Military Presence Behind Donald Trump During Border Speech Raises Alarm.”
One X user tagged the U.S. Air Force account and asked why its general was dressed in uniform at a Trump campaign event, writing, “Last I checked LARPing for a candidate in uniform is not permitted. Figure a General would know that.”
Former congressman and current CNN Senior Political Commentator Adam Kinzinger promoted the fake news.
Several other accounts echoed the false narrative that an Air Force general stood behind Trump.
It was later revealed the man in uniform behind Trump is Major General Thomas Suelzer, who is currently serving as the Adjutant General for the State of Texas under Republican Governor Greg Abbott.
Suelzer’s position of authority over Texas Military Forces is second only to Abbott, and the general was at the Trump event on the governor’s behalf.
Even after learning Suelzer’s identity, the rabid anti-Trumpers continued attacking him for daring to stand behind the man trying to stop the border invasion.
Former Republican John Jackson, who left the U.S. to fight in defense of Ukraine, wrote, “This is a terrible failure of leadership by Maj. Gen. Thomas Suelzer. It is literally Military 101 that you don’t act in a political capacity while in uniform. This man is utterly incompetent at best. Everyone knew this event was a political stunt. Nodding at racist trash.”
The Texas Major General didn’t just stand with Trump, he also spoke to the nation, telling Americans the state’s National Guard is working to stop the invasion and telling would-be illegals, “If you are around the world contemplating coming to do an illegal entry into the United States of America, YOU NEED TO THINK TWICE about that. Go somewhere else or don’t even begin your journey.”
Several informed X users detailed why it was fine for Suelzer to be at the press conference, with military veteran Mark Hertling pointing out the general left Air Force active duty in 2007 and is now under the command of the Texas governor.
