Ryan Zinke, a Whitefish senator and former commander of the SEAL Team Six, announced the formation of a political action committee that will advocate “for the election of Mitt Romney and like-minded candidates who want to bring true leadership back to Washington.”
Zinke, who recently ran for lieutenant governor on Neil Livingstone’s failed gubernatorial ticket, is chairman of Special Operations for America (SOFA). In a press release, the PAC accuses President Barack Obama of exploiting the killing of terrorist Osama Bin Laden for political gain and says he is unbecoming of a commander in chief. Zinke released the following statement:
“The President has failed and he is jeopardizing the safety of our troops, their families and our National security for political gain. Obama has exposed the identity of special operations units, leaked classified information, and limited the rules of engagement of forces on the ground. It’s time to stop President Obama from negotiating away our freedoms and our ability to win on the battlefield. For those who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, it is a call of duty to take back America from a Commander-in-Chief that is incapable of understanding the sacrifices that have been made for the values that have made America great.”
