Lieutenant Dan Choi talks Army reservist who spoke at Ron Paul rally

This morning on Early Start with Ashleigh Banfield & Zoraida Sambolin, Lieutenant Dan Choi discusses whether or not Corporal Jesse Thorsen breached military protocol when he spoke at a Ron Paul rally in uniform.

Choi says, “When you do something like this and you believe that it’s a moral cause you’re speaking for, then you should be ready for the consequences…. We are responsible for all of our actions.” He continues, “And the distinction here that I think people should realize is our military is very different from the militaries around the world in Syria or Egypt. There’s a certain political candidate that, you know, the military officers and people will get behind and that’s wrong. That’s not what we do. I’ve never endorsed a political candidate and I’m not even in a political party.”

Early Start with Ashleigh Banfield & Zoraida Sambolin airs weekdays at 5-7am ET on CNN.
