UPDATE: Former Navy Secretary Mabus, to me: "Either you become a full fledged defender of Trump, regardless of the harm to the military, or you lose your job. Evidently no one is allowed to tell the truth if it conflicts with what Trump is saying."  https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2020/04/so-much-keeping-military-out-politics/164396/">https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/202...
1) Trump admin plants fake OANN, Brietbart “news” propagandists in the White House.
2) Then his acting Navy Secretary warns US troops about the media’s “agenda” to “divide” and “embarrass” the Navy?

Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., chair of the House Armed Services Military Personnel Committee: "The President must immediately demand Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly’s resignation." https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1247311955234369536">https://twitter.com/RepSpeier...
House Armed Services Chair Adam Smith: “I no longer have confidence in Acting Secretary Modly’s leadership of the Navy and believe he should be removed from his position." Blasts Modly’s speech on the Roosevelt and attack on Crozier as tone-deaf, "more focused on personal ego."
