"I did not spend almost three decades of my life to turn this country over to the radical left and to these weak ass Republicans," said Bell. Jarome Bell, who is running to represent Virginia’s 2nd District after spending 27 years in the U.S. Navy and retiring as a Chief Petty Officer, delivered a fiery speech at Kim Klacik’s Red Renaissance event in Maryland. Bell accused “weak ass Republicans” of allowing the United States to fall victim to a “communist coup,” and said that his first hand experiences in the Navy is proof that the mostly peaceful Capitol Hill protests January 6 were not an insurrection. “We are in trouble as a nation because we have these weak ass Republicans in this nation that are selling out to the radical left Democrats,” Bell began. “What happened in 2020 is a travesty in this country.” Bell added, “I spent 27 years [in the Navy], retired Chief Petty Officer, and I did not spend almost three decades of my life to turn this country over to the radical left and to these weak ass Republicans here in the United States of America. Our very way of life in this country is at stake.”
