Rep. McCaul: Sadly 'ironic' Marine in brig at Lejeune for 'speaking truth' while Biden WH lacks accountability
Fox News
Rep. Mike McCaul, R-Texas, called it ironic that a Marine officer was held in a brig for speaking the "truth" about the failures of the Afghanistan withdrawal as Biden administration officials lack accountability.
While Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr., a 17-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, was released from the brig at Camp Lejeune in Onslow County, N.C., under terms of an agreement between him, his counsel, the commanding general and training command, McCaul said he never should have been there in the first place.
Scheller has since been fired from his command at Lejeune, and a hearing has reportedly been delayed until next week.
"I think it’s ironic that this … Marine is facing charges for speaking the truth about his government that they let him down, that they failed the American people and the Afghan people in this evacuation – and yet nobody is held accountable in this administration," McCaul told host Martha MacCallum.
