On Monday, conservative talk radio host Michael Savage decried President Obama’s decision to appoint Eric Fanning, an openly gay man, as Secretary of the Army, suggesting that Fanning’s appointment would lead to a “culture” of child abuse in the military.
Savage read from a recent New York Times report describing the disturbing allegations that the U.S. military ordered service members to overlook abuse of children by local Afghan soldiers who were fighting the Taliban, reportedly justifying letting the abuse continue by saying it was part of their Afghan allies’ “culture.”
“Well, maybe the whole culture of the Army soon, given Obama’s recent appointment,” Savage remarked.
Last week, Savage said that Obama’s nomination of Fanning proves that he is a “psychopath.”
