Republican Congressmen Cory Mills (R-FL) and Jim Banks (R-IN), both members of the Armed Services Committee, have intervened following U.S. Air Force officers’ actions at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota. The officers sent a warning via text message to servicemen and women advising them to “exercise caution” near a Turning Point Action event in Minot. Remarkably, the message cautioned servicemen that ”participation with groups such as Turning Point Action could jeopardize their continued service in the US military.”
The message specifically referenced the Dakota Patriot Rally featuring pro-Trump speakers and labeled the prominent conservative group Turning Point Action as an “alt-right organization.”
The message read (Bolding added for emphasis):
“From MDG chat last night- “Leaders, please exercise caution inf downtown this weekend. I’ve included a text from the 5SFS/CCF. Please pass along to your team and ask them to be careful and reach out for any concerns.
We just got word of an event going at the fairgrounds downtown, called Dakota Patriot Rally. Its guest speaker is from an alt-right organization called Turning Point Action.
Please advise your folks that if they are going to be downtown this weekend, it’s good to be cautious, as the crowds this event may attract could be confrontational to military members.”
The warning continued, (Bolding added for emphasis) “Additionally please remind them that participation with groups such as Turning Point Action could jeopardize their continued service in the US military. There was a shooting incident yesterday in Minot, unclear if it was related.”
Responding to the story, Mills posted explosively to X, “Air Force base in North Dakota warns airmen not to attend rally featuring pro-Trump Tyler Bower or risk ‘jeopardizing’ military career. Our men & women of the Armed Forces fight for our freedoms only to be threatened/ denied by leftist leadership. This command should start preparing for an Armed Services Committee hearing/ investigation NOW!”

Speaking with Benny Johnson on The Benny Show, he added, “I want Charlie Kirk to come sit with these members, he probably knows more about the Constitution than the commander that made this call.” Kirk is the founder and CEO of Turning Point USA.
