Alleged Military Champion Dan Forest Puts Trump’s Wall Before 4,000 North Carolina Workers

By Cole Driver on February 19, 2020.

Despite his campaign charge to “Make North Carolina the Nation’s No.1 Military-Friendly State,” gubernatorial candidate Dan Forest is remaining silent amid the Pentagon’s recent announcement that it intends to slash $223 million from the Marine Corps F-35 program to bankroll the president’s wall at the Southern border.
