Common Defense, a grassroots veterans organization, issued a statement condemning Senator Tim Sheehy for his physical assault on Marine veteran Brian McGinnis. The incident occurred during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing where McGinnis protested Sheehy's actions as a senator. The statement, attributed to Executive Director Jose Vasquez, emphasizes protecting constitutional rights and veterans' voices. The image includes the Common Defense logo.
The video is clear: Tim Sheehy broke a veteran’s arm to silence him.
Using force to suppress a constituent is a total disqualification for office.
We served to protect the right to speak out, not to see it assaulted by a politician in a suit.
No more excuses.
Urgent Reading!
It’s time to speak out against the unchecked growth of satellite mega constellations

#Houston Police + #ICE are working closer than ever. Experts 'It may be unlawful.' The U.S. Constitution designates immigration enforcement as a federal duty thus local PD can't enforce immigration law till they've been deputized by 287(g). Houston participates in NO such agreement. archive.is/2NlE8
