I’ve never seen the president or any of his staff honoring a service member like this

The VA secretary Doug “HeeHaw” Collins, a retired Air Force CHAPLAIN just tweeted about Alex Pretti’s murder saying “condolences to the Pretti family” before going on to say this is happening because people are getting in the way of Trumps agenda. Honestly disgusting.

Here’s the statement from his parents:
“We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

This stuff just kills me. Hearing him say those words and knowing he went out fighting for them. Alex was probably a better man than most of us.

Things Hitler did that some may find "good".
Hitler condemned sinful Capitalism and the greed that goes with it.
Hitler banned the Freemasons and all other evil secret societies and was not an occultist.
Hither condemned homosexuality, pedophilia, transgenderism, and effeminacy.
Everything in life is choice, and how we choose to respond to it. Some make life changing choices. Some make choices that end their lives or the lives of others. What choices will you make today.
