Amy McGrath: It Was ‘Shameful’ for Trump to Wear Red MAGA Hat During West Point Graduation Ceremony

EXCERPT:

MCGRATH: “Well, first of all, I’m glad he took the campaign ball cap off when he went to Arlington. It’s too bad that he couldn’t do that at West Point, where we have a thousand cadets who have worked very hard for the last four years and are now second lieutenants and are going to serve their country for the next four years to possibly over 20. It’s very — it’s shameful, first of all. Not only his words there, the rambling, the talking about trophy wives and [inaudible] like Al Capone, but the inappropriate attire. I just mentioned the ball cap. You know, Donald Trump either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about what’s appropriate for the military, and he is not surrounded by anyone like Mattis or McMaster or Kelly anymore to simply say, hey, sir, take the ball cap off. And that’s, that’s really unfortunate. And I wish that we had, you know, the superintendent of the military academy perhaps could have said to him, hey, take it off, sir, please don’t do a pass in review in front of the corps of cadets with a campaign attire on. Is it unconstitutional? No. Is it totally inappropriate and a politicization of our military? Absolutely. And it’s never been done before. So it’s not just the words, it’s just his actions there at West Point. Terrible.”
