Air Force Academy Superintendent Goes Viral, Blasting Racism and Intolerance in No Uncertain Terms: WATCH
Air Force Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria responded with force and outrage after a racist message (“Go Home N-word”) was left on the message boards of five black cadet candidates for the Air Force Academy Preparatory School.
His message is going viral on social media for good reason.
“Reach for your phones,” said Silveria:
“If you’re outraged by those words, then you’re in the right place. That kind of behavior has no place at the Prep School…It’s the power that we come from all walks of life, that we come from all parts of this country, that we come from all races, that we come from all backgrounds, gender, all make-up, all upbringing…The power of that diversity comes together and makes us that much more powerful….If you can’t treat someone from another gender, whether that’s a man or a woman, with dignity and respect, then you need to get out. If you demean someone in any way, then you need to get out. And if you can’t treat someone from another race or a different color skin with dignity and respect, then you need to get out…”

San Juan, Puerto Rico Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz reacted with fury at comments by Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke’s remarks that the government’s response to the humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria is a “good news story.”
“Damn it. This is not a good news story. This is a ‘people are dying’ story. This is a life or death story. This is there’s a truckload of stuff that cannot be taken to people story. This is a story of a devastation that continues to worsen because people are not getting food and water…it is not a good news story when people are dying because they can’t get dialysis. When their generators aren’t working…where is the good news here?”

WH Press Secretary: ‘We Don’t Agree’ with Roy Moore’s Beliefs on Homosexuality, Muslims
WH Press Secretary: ‘We Don’t Agree’ with Roy Moore’s Beliefs on Homosexuality, Muslims
Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters at the White House that she doesn’t “see any parallel” between Roy Moore’s beliefs on homosexuality and Muslims, and Donald Trump’s.
The transcript:
REPORTER: The second thing is, obviously the President didn’t support Roy Moore in the primary, but he has moved to kind of warmly embrace him since then. But I guess what I’m wondering is, Judge Moore has made a series of controversial comments, saying homosexual conduct should be illegal; equating being gay to bestiality; saying that a lawmaker who’s Muslim shouldn’t be allowed to serve. I’m wondering why those comments shouldn’t disqualify him from a presidential endorsement, particularly considering that from the campaign trail the President promised to be an advocate for those groups.
MS. SANDERS: As we’ve said many times before, I’m not going to get into back-and-forth on political endorsements from the podium, so I’m not going to weigh in on a specific race ahead of time at this point.
REPORTER: Thanks, Sarah. I want to follow up on that, because as he mentioned, Judge Moore said homosexuality should be illegal. He said that Sandy Hook was some sort of divine retribution. He said Keith Ellison should not be permitted to serve in Congress because he’s a Muslim. So without asking about the specifics of the race, does President Trump share any of those views that I just mentioned? And if not, why does he think this person is fit to be a U.S. senator?
MS. SANDERS: Not that I’m aware of. I have not taken a deep dive on every comment that the Senate nominee has made. But I certainly know where the President stands on those issues, and wouldn’t see any parallel between the two of them on that front.
REPORTER: Are there any beliefs a candidate could hold, or actions a candidate can take that, that if he were still a Republican, the President would not endorse him?
MS. SANDERS: I’m not going to get into every potential hypothetical that any potential candidate may or may not have over the course of the time that the President is the president. I know where the President stands on specific issues — that’s what I can speak out — not somebody else that’s a candidate for another office that’s not here.
REPORTER: I just want to follow up on Roy Moore comments. I know you don’t want to talk about the race, but from the podium do you want to at least condemn some of those sentiments that you said the President, to your knowledge, does not share?
MS. SANDERS: I would certainly say we don’t agree with those comments. But in terms of whether or not I’m going to get into the back-and-forth over another candidate, we’re here to focus on the President, the President’s agenda, and those are the questions and the people that I can answer for.
