Um, because he’s a super cool speaker? Maybe that’s why!

Team USA Baseball Manager Mark DeRosa said having SEAL Team Six Member, Robert O’Neill, who killed Bin Laden, speak to the team was his idea.

He defended the move by saying he wanted to honor servicemen and women. #WorldBaseballClassic

Why should he have to defend anything? The man is an American hero and saved many, many lives. He should have a red carpet anywhere he goes.

We gotta do something about this guy https://t.co/d5tEVGyeEa

Really not ducking the “USA has no culture except militarism and violence” charges here https://t.co/jqHagHKPjJ

“Why did you bring a fascist psychopath into the clubhouse?”
“Well, you see, I’m also a fascist psychopath”

Of course, the Left hates everything about the military, patriotism and America as a whole, so they’re furious about this.

This is an excellently asked question. 🫡

Of course, the journalist is reveling in the praise of the Left.

“you never want it to get lost why you’re doing this”

USA is the only team pretending the World Baseball Classic is about honoring your country’s military, nobody else thinks this!

Maybe that’s why America is exceptional and other countries are not.

Why is everyone questioning every little thing Team USA does? Maybe he brought him in because he wanted to? Maybe had some cool stories to tell? People trying to turn a nothing burger into an ordeal.

Great response. Our brave men and women are protecting all of our liberties and we shouldn’t forget that.

They are the reason all Americans enjoy the freedom and liberty to do things like play baseball. 

Why was that even asked as a question lmao

Because journalists are just mouthpieces for the Left.
