It’s amazing how thoroughly President Obama has snubbed the families of the Marines and Navy petty officer murdered in Chattanooga, Tennessee by jihadi gunman Mohammed Youssef Abdulazeez. The White House refuses to order flags lowered to half-staff in their honor. As Stars & Stripes notes, Obama’s flacks won’t even explain why.
“I don’t have more information about the status of the flag over the White House,” said spokesman Josh Earnest. Isn’t that astounding? Either the President doesn’t care enough about the issue to direct his vast media apparatus to prepare an explanation, or he knows there isn’t an explanation that would satisfy the public.
It’s all the more puzzling because, as Stars & Stripes recalls, the flag was lowered after the Washington Navy Yard shooting in 2013, and even after traitor Nidal Hassan’s jihad rampage at Forth Hood in 2009 – the attack shamefully classified as “workplace violence” by this Administration.
“We’ve lost five servicemen, and as you’ve said, the flag goes to half-mast for all types of other incidents around the country,” said
told Stuart Varney of Fox News on Monday. “Here we have five servicemen who lost their lives. I can’t imagine why it hasn’t been lowered.”
When Varney asked if the snub might have something to do with Obama’s reluctance to “acknowledge domestic Islamic terrorism,” DeJarlais replied, “He has a hard time with that concept for some reason. It’s here. It’s here to stay.”
