Trump’s Pick For DHS Pledges To Crush Political Correctness

By Jonah Bennett, Daily Caller:

GOP President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for the Department of Homeland Security has pledged to put a stop to the political correctness that has dominated the discussion on national security.

James Mattis and retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
