Mike Barnicle: ‘Totally Obscene’ for Anyone To Be Questioning John Kelly’s Integrity

EXCERPT:

BARNICLE: “John Kelly is nothing less than fully honorable, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. John Kelly lost his youngest son Bobby in Afghanistan. John Kelly, three days after Bobby was killed in Afghanistan, because he had made a commitment to speak to a group of Marines, showed up, spoke to them and showed a film clip of what it means to have courage, honor, pride in the work you do. It was a clip of two young Marines stationed at a guard post and the guard post was, you could see the truck driven by guerrillas coming toward the guard post, and this was in Afghanistan and they stood there, they stood and did their duty. They died that day. And he gave a speech about honor, courage, character and being an American citizen and being an United States Marine Corps member. John Kelly is the only person in this debate who has honor, who has courage, who has truth because that's the way he has lived his entire life. And for anyone to be questioning his integrity is totally obscene.”
