In response to the Minot Air Force base in North Dakota issuing warning texts to its service members against attending the November 17 “Dakota Patriot Rally,” ND Senator Kevin Cramer declared that whoever crafted this message on the military base needs to “rescind it immediately” and “apologize profusely” for the communication.
In the message, the Turning Point organization as well as Tyler Bowyer, Chief Operations Officer for Turning Point Action who was slated to speak at the event, were heavily criticized as being “alt-right.”
It threatened that “participation with groups such as Turning Point Action could jeopardize [members’] continued service in the US military."
Charlie Kirk, the founder and CEO of Turning Point, played a recording of Cramer’s response on his show Tuesday.
“First of all, if somebody disguised as a leader at the minute Air Force Base actually put out this hyper-partisan left-wing political message, they need to rescind it immediately,” Cramer stated. “They need to apologize for it profusely. And then they need to encourage the airmen at the Minot Air Force Base who are inclined to attend a conservative traditional American values rally to do exactly that and bring a friend. Then that leader, so-called leader, needs to be removed from their position.”
He went on to illuminate the continuing discrepancy in what the military as a whole should be focusing on versus the “left-wing political messages” that are being emphasized throughout.
Cramer said that “they are as responsible, if not more responsible than anybody in the world for deterring our enemies, the enemies of freedom, the enemies of America, the enemies of America's allies, and so we need them to get focused on that and get off of the DEI, EIG nonsense, woke nonsense that's infiltrated our military.”
During the show, Kirk was flooded with other responses and messages of support from members of Congress such as Marjorie Taylor Greene who offered to help “in any way she can.”
Others such as Cory Mills and Matt Gaetz took to social media to make a statement on the issue.
