Mulvaney: Attempt to move USS John McCain during Trump visit 'not unusual'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Sunday that it wasn't "unreasonable" for an administration staffer to ask that the USS McCain be hidden during President Trump's Japan visit last week.

Mulvaney said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he believes it was a "probably somebody in the advance team" who told the Navy to hide the ship based on the president's thoughts over the late senator.

"The president's feelings toward the former senator are well known," Mulvaney said, adding that firing someone over the request "is silly."

"The fact that some 23- or 24-year_old person went to that site and said 'Oh my goodness, there's the John McCain we all know how the president feels about the former senator maybe that's not the best backdrop can somebody look into moving it,' that's not an unreasonable thing to ask," Mulvaney said.

The request that the ship be moved wasn't silly. It was down right stupid.

1. it shows how fucked up trump is

and you are shitty for defending it

[erronis]

2. Another explanation? That the libs are being taunted into getting their knickers wadded?

Dunno. But we do seem to like to focus on their latest/stupidest action.

Since the other bought-ies of the government won't do their duties?

3. Not unreasonable if your job is to placate a fucking man-baby.

[Sneederbunk]

4. If it's OK then will you identify who made the request? I didn't think I so.

[Boomerproud]

5. Oh my gosh! It's just silly!

I bet the idiot had a stupid smile on his mug when he went to that lame excuse. Since when does a 24 year old contact the Navy. Not believable.

6. Moving an active duty warship to please a toddler

is pretty much the textbook definition of “unreasonable.”

[LuvNewcastle]

12. Yeah, moving one of those ships isn't done on a whim.

Of course, I'm not surprised that someone on Trump's staff didn't know that. He only hires the best people, you know.

7. And they call us snowflakes.

Geesh

[prodigitalson]

8. "former senator"?

As if he is just retired.

[Vinca]

9. The whole lot of these people are batshit crazy.

10. Just another lie by Trump to say he did not request/order it. Trump's word and integrity are wort

Just another lie by Trump to say he did not request/order it.

Trump's word and integrity are worthless.
