RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SHARPTON: “The incoming Trump team is reportedly considering a purge of top pentagon officials. Trump has threatened to prosecute military officers that facilitated the Afghanistan withdrawal. And he and his top defense pick have promised to purge our armed forces of woke policies and leadership. Replacing the latter with loyalists to the president- elect. How can Democrats in this next Congress fight back if Trump does attempt to politicize our military?”

Kelly: “We need to speak up, speak out. I hope our Republican colleagues don’t think this is okay. We have many veterans that serve in Congress and hopefully they are going to speak up too. At least for the first 100 days. The vote will be tight period. But for the first 100 days the vote will be even tighter. Maybe because of that, we’ll be able to rectify that or stop some of his actions and hopefully, my Republican senators will not let the Fox News commentator take that position. He does not deserve it.”
