Last week, the WLT Report shared that the United States Air Force warned its members not to participate in a pro-Trump rally if they want to continue their service.
Military leadership at the Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota sent out a warning message that stated anyone who attends the Dakota Patriot Rally hosted by Turning Point USA could jeopardize their military careers.
In the warning, military officials stated, “Participation with groups such as Turning Point Action could jeopardize their continued service in the U.S. military.”
Now, after receiving backlash, military leadership at the Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota has backtracked their comments.
In a new statement, the base has walked backed its statement and shared, “The message was based on incorrect data and sent outside of official base messaging platforms.”

Here’s what Just The News reported:
An Air Force base in North Dakota recently walked back its statement that discouraged soldiers from going to a conservative rally titled “Dakota Patriot Rally.”
In a message sent out last week, leaders at Minot Air Force Base were told to “exercise caution if downtown this weekend” due to a conservative rally occurring that would feature a speaker from Turning Point USA, which was labeled as “alt-right.”
“Please advise your folks that if they are going to be downtown this weekend, it’s good to be cautious, as the crowds this event may attract could be confrontational to military members,” the message stated. “Additionally please remind them that participation with groups such as Turning Point Action could jeopardize their continued service in the U.S. military.”
After backlash from members of Congress and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, the base walked back the statement.
Love of country is now grounds for dismissal in Biden’s military.
Why? Pres Trump and @TPAction_ are too “extremist.”
Conservative service members are being targeted by the Biden regime — this persecution must end and officials will be held accountable!https://t.co/gMHl0YkAZU
