Deleted Tweets From Joel Funk, D-Ill.

We need to have an honest conversation about our role in the world and the #ForeverWar we find ourselves and many loved ones in today.

Why does the President say things like this? There is absolutely no truth to it and every major hospital, the World Health Organization, and globally our allies and enemies are watching this and know is a bald faced lie. This is so irresponsible. https://t.co/u5Jebz2alx

@luvslillies @illblue2 @JoelDFunk Thank you! Please spread the word. We’ve got a tough fight ahead of us, but with your help and theirs we will bring a new generation of leadership to to the helm in Southern Illinois.

I’m not usually one for omens, but a bald eagle flying 30 feet off the deck just buzzed me while I was lifting weights outside at home. I’d call that a good sign with this weather and our fundraiser tonight. ❄️❄️

It’s been a busy few weeks and there’s no shortage of work to be done. Staying grounded is important. For me that’s spending time doing what my family has been doing for generations and what I did growing up, managing the land and making a living from nature in a sustainable way. https://t.co/H34E4k0XMp

@realDonaldTrump As an gun owning American and Democrat that actually volunteered to support and defend the US Constitution and all its amendments, I find your rhetoric divisive, repugnant, and dangerous. Gun owning Democrats see through your lies and we will continue to fight against them.

Tonight my heart goes out those that are in harms way & those fearful for their safety. I also pray that our National Command Authority and those advising them execute decisions based on reason with the goal of defusing this powder keg.

We must not “self defense” ourselves into a massive retaliation and war we can’t afford and that runs the risk of taking global stability with it.

@StateDept @SecPompeo Our own State Department knows that the Iraqi Shia militias are backed by Iran and their is delicate trust in the Iraqi Government, but fails to mention these details. It is hubris to speak of sovereignty and freedom and ignore that the role of the US is also in question.

Why did we choose to make 2019 the year we launched a campaign for #IL12? Joel takes a moment to talk about why this campaign matters and what we are doing to lead from the front. #funkthevote #taskforcefunk

@NancyZWheeler @joncoopertweets @LenziRay Nancy if you have questions we would be happy to answer them. Yes, Joel has been away since he enlisted in the Army shortly after 9-11 then deploymented to Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. The Funk family has been in So. IL since the 1830s and Joel returned to work the family farm.

Thank you @VoteOjeda2020 for joining our fight to oust Mike Bost. We were the boots on the ground and now we are fighting for real leadership on Healthcare, Drug and Criminal Justice Reform and the Veterans Bill of Rights. #vetsforcongress #funkthevote https://t.co/yGHBrB9Pzf

“...Instead, they show men who were hesitant to come forward, but who urged one another to resist outside pressure and threats of violence, and to be honest.”

“The video interviews and private group text conversations obtained by The Times do not reveal any coordinated deception among the SEALs in the chief’s platoon...”

This is why leaders must be principled and toxic ones must be removed. Rewarding and championing those that disgrace the rest of us by posing with and clutching the hair of a dead body like some kind of hunting trophy is despicable and undermines our moral standing in the world.
