Man in Viral Trump Rally Video Discharged from Marine Program; Actions Don't Represent Marines.
The United States Marine Corps has expelled a young recruit from Indiana for participating in a racially charged incident at a Donald Trump rally in Louisville on Super Tuesday.
Shiya Nwanguma, a young African-American student at the University of Louisville, was shoved and verbally abused when she attempted to protest at the Trump event. "I was called a nigger and a cunt, and got kicked out" Nwanguma said after the incident. "They were pushing and shoving at me, cursing at me, yelling at me, called me every name in the book. They're disgusting and dangerous." One of the individuals involved in the confrontation with Nwanguma was Joseph Pryor, a native of Corydon, Indiana, who graduated from high school last year. After the rally, Corydon posted a photo on his Facebook page that showed him shouting at Nwanguma. The post went viral and eventually attracted the attention of the Marine Corps, which Pryor had just joined.
The Marine Corps recruiting station in Louisville toldmilitary publication Stars and Stripes that Pryor had recently enlisted and was about to head off for boot camp. Captain Oliver David, a spokesman for the Marine Corps command, said Pryor had not yet undergone Marine Corps ethics training. "Joseph Pryor demonstrated poor judgement in his use of social media that associates him with a racially charged altercation at a political rally," David said. "Because of that we've decided to part ways with Mr. Pryor." He added: "Hatred toward any group of individuals is not tolerated in the Marine Corps and he is being discharged from our delayed entry program effective [Wednesday]."
