Dem Rep. Gutierrez owes John Kelly an apology
Gutierrez needs to apologize ASAP.
Dem Rep. Gutierrez owes John Kelly an apology, House majority leader says
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy is calling on Illinois Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez to apologize for saying White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, a retired Marine general, is “a disgrace to the uniform.”“What is disgraceful is to attack the character of such an honorable man, who has dedicated his life to serving this country and whose family gave the ultimate sacrifice.
I believe Rep. Gutierrez owes General Kelly and his family an apology,” McCarthy told reporters Wednesday. McCarthy noted how Kelly, whose son was killed in Afghanistan in 2010, is the highest-ranking servicemember to lose a child in Afghanistan or Iraq.“General Kelly has served his country in the Marines,” McCarthy said. “He is serving his country again in this administration. He is truly an American patriot.”
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Re: Dem Rep. Gutierrez owes John Kelly an apology
Donald Trump owes a lot of people an apology.
Sorry, but didn't 2016 exhaust our capacity for outrage?
If you didn't think that McCain, Ted Cruz's Dad, Mexicans, Judge Curiel, Carly Fiorina, etc etc, etc, are owed an apology, how can you shed crocodile tears for Gen Kelly?
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Dem Rep. Gutierrez owes John Kelly an apology
He probably DOES owe Kelly an apology in the context of his remark. Of course as noted, this is more the headlines on the right wing sites but nevertheless it was a rather misplaced remark in terms of the mans service to our country.
Gutierrez DOES, however, along with the Hispanic caucus feel abandonded and lied to by Kelly and perhaps has a genuine right to lash out at him. He should, if he feels that way, actually attack him for this rather than his service.
