A photo of U.S. Army infantry officer and West Point graduate Spenser Rapone was making its rounds online Monday due to the fact that – while in his uniform – Rapone had the words “Communism will win” scrawled inside of his cap.

It turns out that Rapone’s mentor who helped the West Point grad with his development is Dr. Rasheed Hosein, a Muslim professor of Middle East history. Dr. Hosein earned his doctoral degree in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago in pre-Islamic and early Islamic history in December of 2010, according to his bio.

LawNewz verified the legitimacy of the photograph with Rapone himself. He is currently in the field until Friday and unable to answer detailed questions.

Now this…Rapone was radicalized by a Muslim professor who is now on administrative leave. Islam’s unholy alliance with the left…

A West Point spokesman confirmed he is on administrative leave but said it is unrelated to Rapone. “We are unable to provide information regarding administrative actions but can confirm that the details are unrelated to 2nd Lieutenant Rapone,” the spokesman said. At West Point, Hosein had mentored Rapone. The two apparently traveled together to India together in 2014 and maintained a close relationship until Rapone graduated in May 2016. Also during that time, Rapone’s Facebook posts grew increasingly radical and leftist.

As previously reported, West Point released a statement via the official West Point website addressing the controversy surrounding Spenser Rapone’s ‘Communism will win’ social media posts.

STATEMENT RESPONSE TO SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS BY USMA GRADUATE — September 26, 2017 The U.S. Military Academy strives to develop leaders who internalize the academy’s motto of

Duty, Honor, Country, and who live the Army values. Second Lieutenant Rapone’s actions in no

way reflect the values of the U.S. Military Academy or the U.S. Army. As figures of public trust, members of the military must exhibit exemplary conduct, and are

prohibited from engaging in certain expressions of political speech in uniform. Second

Lieutenant Rapone’s chain of command is aware of his actions and is looking into the matter.

The former Democrat lawmaker who nominated Communist Spenser Rapone to West Point strongly disavowed his tweets calling for political violence and claiming ‘Communism will win’.

The former Dem Rep. for Pennsylvania, Jason Altmire called Rapone’s tweets shocking, disappointing and abhorrent.

Rep. Altmire told The Daily Caller that Rapone was a “well-rounded student” from a good family when he first met him. It goes to show how quickly and easily one can be radicalized.

“Several years ago, I met Spenser Rapone when he was a high school student seeking an appointment to West Point,” Altmire said. “At the time, he was an outstanding, well-rounded student who came from a good family. I have not been in touch with him in the years since the appointment, and I was shocked and extremely disappointed in the recent reports of his indefensible actions.”

There appears to be more radicalized individuals at West Point…
