Family Research Council Executive Vice President Jerry Boykin moderated a panel entitled “America Abroad: Our Role in the Global Quest for Freedom” at today’s Values Voters Summit, which he closed out by declaring that President Obama will not listen to the advice of military leaders because those leaders love America, which is something the president can never understand.
Blasting Obama for sending U.S. soldiers to help contain the Ebola outbreak but not sending troops to fight ISIS, Boykin said “this president is thinking like a community organizer, not a Commander-in-Chief that takes the lives and futures of his soldiers, sailors, airman, and Marines seriously.”
“We’ve got a community organizer that has surrounded himself with people that know everything about climate change, everything about Marxism, everything about the LGBT agenda, but virtually nothing about national security,” Boykin said. “And he’s unwilling to listen to his real professionals, that’s the military professionals, because he doesn’t trust them because they represent something that he’s never been able to understand, and that’s a love for America”:
