Sounds like a campaign statement for the Democrat House of Representatives.

{Follow-up} I have rewatched this again, and it seems she stopped and go out of her (aka went out of her way) to address protesters. Am I missing something? I am not sure why she felt the desire to stop in the first place in uniform! Again, there seems to be something deeper regarding this event.
-----------------------
MCPO Roger Collins Sounds like a lack of discipline on the surface. I'd be curious to know what was said to her to spark this. Regardless, she should not have responded, in uniform.
But, I cannot help but wonder if the CO failed to provide instruction to their sailors regarding "political speech". I remember in 1980 and 1984 then again in 1992 the POD had a little clip about "Political Speech."
I agree with MSG (Join to see) "...no common sense..." I hesitate to state what "state" this took place in.
In any event, here are a couple of references if people are interested:

Just sharing...........

I don't like Trump either but when in uniform it's time to keep one's political opinions to one's self.

Apparently that only applies is you like Trump. I've reported numerous times uniformed service members with Biden slogan and bumper stickers in hand, yet NO discipline for any of these. The only stories that get attention are when it's blatant stupidity as this PO exhibits, or pro Trump supporters. Time for blind lady of justice to take her place again.
