A group of more than 120 retired military officers have written President Joe Biden a letter to tell him his election was illegitimate while raising questions about his mental acuity.
The letter
talks about former US President Donald Trump's claims of widespread election
fraud and comes a day after Rep. Liz Cheney was voted out of the Republican
party leadership for criticisms of Trump for still peddling claims of electoral
fraud.
The letter
from the group which calls itself 'Flag Officers 4 America' and consists of
retired military officers including generals and admirals reads:
'Without fair
and honest elections that accurately reflect the 'will of the people' our Constitutional
Republic is lost.'
'The FBI and
Supreme Court must act swiftly when election irregularities are surfaced and
not ignore them as was done in 2020,' they wrote.
The letter,
called an 'Open Letter from Retired Generals and Admirals,' was first reported
by Politico.
The letter
buttresses Trump's claims that absentee ballots are not secure.
'Election
integrity demands insuring there is one legal vote cast and counted per
citizen. Legal votes are identified by State Legislature's approved controls
using government IDs, verified signatures, etc,' they write.
'Today, many
are calling such common-sense [voter ID] controls “racist” in an attempt to
avoid having fair and honest elections. Using racial terms to suppress proof of
eligibility is itself a tyrannical intimidation tactic,' they write.
The retired
officers raise doubts about Biden's mental capacity – and reference Speaker
Nancy Pelosi's move to get assurances about the nuclear codes in the days after
the January 6 MAGA riot.
'The mental
and physical condition of the Commander in Chief cannot be ignored. He must be
able to quickly make accurate national security decisions involving life and
limb anywhere, day or night,' they write.
'Recent
Democrat leadership's inquiries about nuclear code procedures sends a dangerous
national security signal to nuclear armed adversaries, raising the question
about who is in charge. We must always have an unquestionable chain of
command.'
The group
pledged to support and defend the Constitution of the US against all enemies,
foreign and domestic.'
The
signatories of the letter attached their names to the letter. Among them was
Maj. Gen. Joe Arbuckle, who served in Vietnam and later commanded the US Army
Industrial Operations Command (IOC) at Rock Island, Illinois.
Other signers
of the anti-Biden letter included include Vice Adm. John Poindexter, who was
convicted in the Iran-Contra Affair.
Also signing
on was Army Brig. Gen. Don Bolduc, who lost the Republican primary in 2020 to
challenge Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, and is planning another Senate
run.
Arbuckle, who
organized the effort, told Politico: 'Retired generals and admirals normally do
not engage in political actions, but the situation facing our nation today is
dire.'
He continued:
'We are facing threats greater than at any other time since our country was
founded. To remain silent would be a dereliction of duty.'
