Not all military veterans are America First, Texas Dem says "if people loot, let it burn to the ground"

If Air Force Col. Kim Olson commanded a military base would she allow rioters, looters to enter and "let it burn to the ground"?

In a video conference clip obtained by the Washington Examiner, retired Air Force Col Kim Olson, Democrat candidate to represent the 24th Congressional District of Texas made the following comment during a question and answer session on defunding the police

The Washington Examiner reports (emphasis mine):

"A leading Democratic candidate in a closely watched House race brushed off looting and arson that occurred during nationwide unrest during protests about racism and police brutality sparked by the death of George Floyd. 

“What the hell you got snipers on the roof for in a peaceful march? Even if people loot, so what? Burn it to the ground, you know, if that’s what it’s going to take to fix our nation,” retired Air Force Col. Kim Olson said during a live digital event on Tuesday, shown in a clip obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Beth Van Duyne, Republican candidate for the 24th Congressional District of Texas tweeted:

The Democrat primary in the 24th District has become a despicable race to the bottom for who can be the most extreme, most radical, and most destructive to our neighborhoods, state, and nation.https://t.co/ui6Vud3qCA

Retired Air Force Col Kim Olson, Democrat candidate to represent the 24th Congressional District of Texas is in a heated primary with Candace Valenzuela for the party nomination.

But with the news that Olson, in her own words, supports burning America to the ground is just a bridge too far, making it clear that just because a candidate served in the United States military doesn't mean they support America first and foremost.

If retired Air Force Col. Kim Olson had commanded a military base would she allow rioters, looters to enter and "let it burn to the ground"?

Mexican national to serve 18 months in jail for 3rd illegal reentry to US

The flagrant disregard for U.S. sovereignty continues to be taken seriously by Texas courts and the U.S. Attorney's Office. For those of you from Rio Linda, Quinlan is in Hunt County, Texas, part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

PHILADELPHIA – United States Attorney William M. McSwain announced today that Fernando Antonio Garcia-Bonilla, 27, of Quinlan, Texas, was sentenced to eighteen months in federal prison by United States District Court Judge Mitchell S. Goldberg.  The defendant was convicted of re-entering the United States illegally after being deported on two prior occasions and after having committed three DUIs while in the country unlawfully.  After he serves his sentence, the defendant will be deported to Mexico.

On August 16, 2018, the defendant, an illegal alien, native and citizen of Mexico, was charged in an indictment with one count of re-entry into the United States after previously being deported and removed from the country on or about March 2, 2017 and February 15, 2018.  On March 18, 2019, the defendant pleaded guilty to the indictment.

While illegally present in the United States, the defendant was convicted of driving while intoxicated by three different Texas courts, the last of which sentenced him to serve ten years in prison, all but two of which were suspended.  Additionally, this federal conviction is the defendant’s third conviction for violating this nation’s immigration laws, as he was previously federally convicted of illegal entry into the United States on February 17, 2017, in the District of New Mexico, and then convicted of illegal re-entry into the United States on August 11, 2017 in the same district.  He was sentenced to serve ten months’ imprisonment following his most recent federal conviction.(read the rest here)
