And Donald drafted his firing papers.
Rats, when cornered on a sinking ship, will devour one another to avoid drowning.
Fired today….The coward in chief and his rug rats need to go…NOW!
Hey Esper, You’re fired!!!!
Where were the protests during the Obama years? Police killings of black citizens just started in the last four years?
Esper fail
To Trump: As much as I object, I carry out my orders
To the protesters: I am following orders, but I am against them
interesting
Guys, go talk to the NG Soldiers. Hear it from our Soldiers not the news if you want to learn.
If you don't support our President you shouldn't working with him. . Pretty sure we'll hear very soon " You a fired" .
Given your position of Defense Secretary you are required to uphold the constitution and to obey the commander in chiefs’ orders. Standing against a Presidential constitution action is nothing less than sedition, and You know that…
Someones gonna fired soon!!!
ESPER YOU ARE A TRAITOR AND SHOULD BE ARRESTED
I assume he'll be fired on Friday.
"President Donald Trump has lost confidence in the secretary of defense, hes getting replaced by Orange's daughter's husband's cousin's boyfriend"

The military should NEVER be activated on the American people. That means the oath they took to defend the constitution has been violated and that is treason. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble. All were violated! But no one cares. Everyone outside the US right now is watching the US and how the constitution is failing to protect the people, to protect freedom!
What we use to say in the military? C.Y.A Cover Your Ass!
How can he say that they didn't fire rubber bullets and tear gas on peaceful protesters and not offer a single word in their defense. These people are such lousy leaders and even worse human beings. It's gross.
Yes we are
If you are going to be against the President, RESIGN! I hope he FIRES YOU, JERK!!!!!!
resign
Here a thought people quit destroying property, looting and starting fires .
So unaccpectable! How can you lie to the America people.
Ducking bsssss
Amen Mr. Secretary. I concur with your statement. I as a National Guardsmen from Wisconsin take my oath to uphold the Constitution and serve the people of the United States very seriously.
Russia?China?Japan?who is next?
LIAR!!!!
Republicans koolaid is toxic like Jim Jone's, stop drinking it!
But we all watched them pepper spray those peaceful protesters. WTF. Why lie..what purpose does it serve. We all watched it. Im confused.
The Israelis recorded the names of HITLER'S ENABLERS and hunted them down for the rest of their lives! The TYRANTS are nothing without the ENABLERS! Record the names of the ENABLERS!
LIAR!
I guess that burning sensation in the eyes of those PEACEFUL Protesters were from onions!
Esper should be fired #jerichogreen
