Mark Green, President Trumps second choice for Army Secretary, withdrew amid pressure from progressives over his anti-LGBTQ record. Now Family Research Council President Tony Perkins is pitching Allen West to be Trumps next pick, despite the fact that he too has an anti-LGBTQ record, suggesting it wouldnt be an easy path for him either.
West, a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, spoke out against the repeal of Dont Ask Dont Tell, saying it was unfortunate that gay people were serving in the military and suggesting that the best compromise was DADT.
West also criticized Barack Obama for supporting same-sex marriage, wrongly predicting that it would cost him the black vote.
His military career ended after he fired his pistol near the head of an Iraqi police officer in an attempt to gain information.
