Joe Kennedy III: Trump’s Trangender Ban Is ‘Dangerous’

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY: "What the president did yesterday was indicate that he's not going to expressly dedicate himself to showing that same decency and dignity in return. It's dangerous. It gets the fundamental values I think in our country about not just inclusivity and diversity, but recognizing that if people are willing to step forward and say, I want to serve, that we want -- we want that dedication, we want that talent, we want that devotion. And without any sort of engagement in any real substantive debate by which, let me be clear, there isn't one to try to exclude people that are willing to serve and are able-bodied from the military, with a tweet, without discussing it with the Pentagon, without discussing it with Capitol Hill, decided to go it alone. And, in doing so, left thousands of American service members stranded and waiting in the wings. That's not the way you treat our military and it doesn't make our country any stronger."
