The official GOP Twitter account is now defending President Donald Trump‘s criticisms of retired Admiral Bill McRaven.

McRaven, who oversaw the bin Laden raid, had denounced President Donald Trump‘s attacks on the press, something Chris Wallace brought up in his interview with the President yesterday.

Trump’s response was to call McRaven a Hillary Clinton backer and complaining that they should’ve taken out bin Laden sooner.

And now the RNC is joining in Trump’s criticisms of the retired Navy admiral:

Worth noting after recent comments: Retired Adm. William McRaven was reportedly on Hillary Clinton’s short list for Vice President in 2016. He’s been critical of President @realDonaldTrump— even dating back to the 2016 campaign. He’s hardly a non-political figure. — GOP (@GOP) November 19, 2018

The party of Trump indeed.
