ADVISORY: Rep. Gallego, Phoenix-Area Veterans React to Blake Masters’ Repeated Military Criticism
PHOENIX — On Monday afternoon at 1:00 pm MST, Congressman and U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran Ruben Gallego will hold a press conference with fellow Phoenix-area veterans to condemn Blake Masters’ pattern of attacking U.S. military service members.

Last week at the U.S. Senate debate, Masters claimed there is “rot” in the military — doubling down on his previous comments where he called our military and veterans “totally incompetent,” “woefully inadequate,” “piss poor,” and “embarrassing.” Masters has also called U.S. entry into World War II “unjust,” said Al Qaeda is not a real threat to America, and defended conspiracies around the 9/11 terrorist attack.

RSVP: Please RSVP here for location details.
