Academy Award winning actor Jon Voight has issued a grass-roots call to arms as the nation honors its military with heartfelt thanks and thoughtful appreciation.
“Today is Veterans Day. We honor all our living and fallen heroes — thousands of young men who sacrificed their lives so we can live as free men. One of our own young Marines, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, was just released from a Mexican prison after long, torturous months, and we just found out from his own words during a Greta Van Susteren interview that he tried to kill himself with a broken light bulb that he plunged into his neck hoping to die, as to not endure his torture any longer,” Mr. Voight tells Inside the Beltway, citing a recent Fox News interview with the U.S. Marine. “Needless to say, his incarceration was a total lie. He was totally innocent.”
“President Obama has released five known terrorist murderers in a trade for an American soldier who was believed to be a deserter,” Mr. Voight continues, referring to the release earlier this year of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
“He wants to legalize all the illegal Mexicans, and every other illegal immigrant from other countries as well. Why? For their vote for the 2016 election, for the Democrats. He is unconcerned for the billions of dollars it will cost the American taxpayers. It makes no difference to him. It made no difference on the latest illegals he let come across the borders a few months ago, children — unaccompanied by their parents, carrying all kind of illnesses — assimilating them into our society and our schools,” the actor says.
“Obama had nothing to say for Sgt. Tahmooressi, who endured this unthinkable torture. He made no attempt to free him. Not one word was said in his defense. Obama’s view of what is right and wrong is totally distorted. There should be total outrage for his policies he will put into action. He must be stopped. Every freedom-loving American should voice their outrage against his executive privilege.”
