"Worth reflecting on what McRaven's criticism says about Trump and about you."

“I stand by my comment that the President’s attack on the media is the greatest threat to our democracy in my lifetime.”

“When you undermine the people’s right to a free press and freedom of speech and expression, then you threaten the Constitution and all for which it stands.”

If you had told me two years ago that the official GOP twitter account would be attacking *Bill McRaven* as a partisan hack, I would have said you were out of your mind.

Worth noting that McRaven forcefully shot down those rumors as soon as they emerged.

Worth noting the depths to which the @GOP will sink in attempting to justify the President's despicable smear of yet another American hero.
