“I am proud to endorse Mike Bloomberg for President of the United States. I have the utmost confidence that Mike will faithfully execute his duty as Commander-in-Chief,” Richard Spencer said in a statement Friday.
In his endorsement of Bloomberg on Friday, Spencer argued that the Democratic candidate would “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and uphold the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”
“Restoring America’s standing in the world and repairing relationships with our allies will be a top priority in Mike’s administration,” he added in a veiled swipe at Trump for his foreign policy stance of “America First.”
Spencer plans to campaign with Bloomberg at an event Friday in Norfolk, Virginia, where the former mayor will roll out his policy plan to address economic and health concerns of military families.
Trump reversed Gallagher’s demotion despite warnings from military leaders that the move could undermine the forces’ order and discipline and damage the integrity of the military justice system.
He proposed to the White House that Gallagher’s review go ahead, but offered a secret guarantee that Gallagher would be allowed to keep his status as a Navy SEAL, according to the senior defense official.
