Terrell blasts Rep. Cohen saying 75% of National Guard may ‘do something’ at inauguration: ‘LUDICROUS!’
“You can expect the democrats to play the race card for the next four years as long as we allow them to and we can’t”
In a CNN interview, Demcoratic Rep. Steve Cohen made an egregious accusation that because of its conservative majority, 75 percent of the National Guard might be inclined to attack during Joe Biden’s inauguration.
.@RepCohen on his concerns w/ the National Guard securing the Inauguration: “The [National] Guard is 90 some-odd percent male; and only about 20 percent of white males voted for Biden … there are probably not more than 25% of the people there protecting us that voted for Biden” pic.twitter.com/ofQfLuCw8I

“You know, I was thinking, the Guard is 90 some-odd percent, I believe, male; and only about 20 percent of white males voted for Biden,” he said.
“The other 75 percent are in the class that would be, the large class of folks, who might want to do something. And there were military people and police who took oaths to defend the Constitution and to protect and defend who didn’t do it who were in the insurrection, so it does concern me,” he continued. “The suspect group is large.”
Appearing on Hannity Monday night, Leo Terrell had something to say about it.
“You can expect the democrats to play the race card for the next four years as long as we allow them to and we can’t,” he said.
“What that congressman said is outright ludicrous. National Guard, the military, they have a commitment to our country and to God and for him to make the assumption, just because officers in the military express their First Amendment right and vote for a particular candidate that they’re not going to defend the other guy,” he continued.
“Dan Bongino had nothing in common with Barack Obama but that man would’ve taken a bullet for Barack Obama. It is outright crazy to make the false assumption that who you vote for will depend on your loyalty to the Commander in Chief,” he urged. “It makes no sense whatsoever.”
“I’m going across this country. I hope the democrats try to cancel me because I’ve got a big mouth. I’m going across this country all this year to talk about Trump’s program. I’m serious. This is ridiculous,” he added.
The suspected gunman who opened fire at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, on Monday was wearing women’s clothing as a disguise, police announced Tuesday.
The attack killed six people and injured dozens more, according to Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek. The suspect, 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III, was apprehended by police later that day near Lake Forest, Illinois.
“During the attack, Crimo was dressed in women’s clothing,” said Sgt. Christopher Covelli, of the Lake County Major Crime Task Force, FOX 10 reported. “Investigators do believe he did this to conceal his facial tattoos and his identity and help him during the escape with the other people who were fleeing the chaos.”
“He brought a high-powered rifle to this parade,” Covelli said. “He accessed the roof of a business via a fire escape ladder and began opening fire on the innocent Independence Day celebration-goers.”
“After the shooting, Crimo blended in with the crowd and walked to his mother’s home in the area where he borrowed her vehicle, Covelli said. A member of the community spotted Crimo driving and called 911,” FOX 10 reported. “Crimo was pulled over and arrested during a traffic stop about five miles north of the shooting.”
Investigators have interrogated Crimo and reviewed his social media but have not been able to determine a motive for the attack, Covelli said.
On Tuesday, House Democrats introduced a “Transgender Bill of Rights” to “protect and codify the rights of transgender and nonbinary people under the law and ensure their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.”
Led by Democrat Reps. Pramila Jayapal (WA), David Cicilline (RI), Marie Newman (IL), Mark Takano (CA), and Ritchie Torres (NY), HR 1209 proposes “amending the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, including gender identity and sex characteristics in public accommodations and federally funded programs and activities.”
“As we witness Republicans and an extremist Supreme Court attack and roll back the fundamental rights of trans people across our country, and as state legislatures across the country target our trans community with hateful, bigoted, and transphobic attacks, we are standing up and saying enough is enough,” said Jayapal, the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and co-chair of the Transgender Equality Task Force.
“Our Trans Bill of Rights says clearly to the trans community across the country that we see you and we will stand with you to ensure you are protected and given the dignity and respect that every person should have,” Jayapal added.
The bill seeks to increase the ability of children to get permanent and life changing surgeries by “eliminating unnecessary governmental restrictions on the provision of, and access to, gender-affirming medical care and counseling for transgender and nonbinary adults, adolescents, and children.”
The bill will additionally ensure that biological male students are allowed to compete in girls’ sports by amending federal “education laws to ensure that they protect students from discrimination based on sex, including gender identity and sex characteristics, and guarantee students’ right to participate in sports on teams that best align with their gender identity.”
Federal education laws will also be amended to allow students to :use school facilities that best align with their gender identity,” meaning that biological males would be allowed to use girls’ restrooms and locker rooms.
The bill expands beyond “transgender rights” to also ban states from making laws restricting abortion by “codifying the right to abortion.”

Go for it, Brother Leo. I took the following OATH on Dec 20, 1963, and several times thereafter until I retired on Apr 1, 1992, as an E-6: “I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”.
That OATH was not to an individual but to the United States of America and it Constitution. Also, I added a small oath of my own: “I will protect those that can’t and I’ll also protect those that will not. So Help Me, God!”
I will gladly pick up my weapon again if I’m called because my oath will NEVER, NEVER expire.
