Liberals Cheer Resignation of Acting Navy Secretary Who Insulted Captain Because Trump Appointed Him

A Navy drama that first began with the firing of a Nuclear ship captain, Brett E. Crozier, after a leaked email, has now ended with the acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly, who was appointed by President Trump, apologizing and resigning.

Liberals have taken to Twitter to cheer the resignation as a way to hit back at Trump, with some even saying that they were responsible for forcing it.

Democrat Coalition: Amid massive pressure from #TheResistance, Trump’s Navy Secretary Thomas Modly resigned Tuesday after denouncing American patriot Capt. Brett Crozier as “stupid.”

Rolling Stone writer Jamil Smith: It is somewhat amusing to see folks who think that they can get away with imitating Trump’s boorish behavior at a similar volume—minus his celebrity and cultish fans—and then fail as soon as they show their asses. Now give Capt. Brett Crozier his job back.
