Acting Secretary of the Navy Modly flew 15,000 miles to deliver a pathetic speech to the crew of the USS Roosevelt. After referring to the removed Captain as "too naive or too stupid", he has now retracted the comment. Modly has all the credentials to be confirmed except common sense. Gee, he could have sent his speech via an email attachment to be played over the loudspeaker. Wonder what it cost for his 15,000 trip? I suspect his career as Sec of Navy is over.
From my "go to source for news".....Fox News
"President Trump on Monday said at a press conference that he might get involved in the public crisis playing out in the Navy after an aircraft carrier commander was ousted after raising the alarm about a coronavirus outbreak on the ship in a leaked letter.
Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly appeared to worsen the situation when he gave a surprise speech to sailors on the USS Theodore Roosevelt and called ousted Captain Brett Cozier "too naïve or too stupid" to be a commanding officer of a ship like this, Reuters reported.
Modly later issued an apology to the Navy and Crozier and said, "Let me be clear, I do not think Captain Brett Cozier is naive nor stupid. I think, and always believed him to be the opposite. We pick our carrier commanding officers with great care. Captain Crozier is smart and passionate."
Modly said he wanted to apologize for any "confusion this choice of words may have caused."
Trump told a press conference that he is good at "settling arguments." Trump said Cozier should have resisted sending the letter but he did not want to destroy "somebody for having a bad day," the report said."
