The cycle of this story honestly astonishes:
1. Navy secy says he fired commander for exercising poor judgment
2. Goes on carrier, rips into commander, suggests he's "too naive or too stupid"
3. Says "I stand by every word"
4. Hours later, says nevermind, I apologize
5. Now this https://twitter.com/jimsciutto/status/1247603081002483712
David is right, I left out 1 of 2 vital details here - that he FLEW TO GUAM to rip into the commander

The other most important detail I left out: He got into a public feud with Teddy Roosevelt's great grandson, who is named TWEED ROOSEVELT https://twitter.com/Fahrenthold/status/1247607256394412032
please note that we here at twitter dot com slash mark berman regret the error, we never meant to leave out a chance to reference Tweed Roosevelt https://twitter.com/markberman/status/1246496316823416838
