The left’s favorite former military figure, Bradley Chelsea Manning is none too happy after the honor of a visiting fellowship at Harvard University was yanked back less than two days after being extended.
It seems that the Ivy League elitist snob farm underestimated the backlash against an individual who is considered to be a traitor for his/her role in passing classified State Department cables to WikiLeaks, a huge scandal that ended up with Manning being prosecuted thrown into a military prison by the Obama regime. Manning was sprung early by Obama in what was clearly a sop to a certain identity politics demographic that the Democrats are able to exploit.
Reports state that Manning had an angry telephone conversation with the dean at Harvard and abruptly hung up the phone. Then the former Army soldier turned celebrated transvestite took to social media to vent over the indignity inflicted upon him by Harvard.

Manning’s Twitter timeline is actually rather amusing. He went from spiking the ball and gloating after former Obama CIA honcho Michael Morrell resigned his fellowship in protest of the university’s offer to the transgender traitor.
Morrell is a very creepy spook and it doesn’t speak well of HAH-vahd to have offered him a fellowship either but he is what amounts to a made man of the Deep State. He isn’t the only swine to hold such a position either.
That isn’t the case with Manning who was it not for Obama’s desire to pander to LGBT∞ voters, would still be locked up and receiving taxpayer-funded hormone therapy and awaiting a sex change operation courtesy of Uncle Sam.

An account of the Harvard-Manning debacle comes via the damned liberal New York Times in their account “Harvard Disinvites Chelsea Manning, and the Feeling Is Mutual”:
Douglas W. Elmendorf, the dean of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, told Ms. Manning in a phone call at about 12:30 a.m. on Friday that the school was no longer offering her the fellowship, according to a source familiar with the conversation. The decision was made public shortly afterward.
Harvard had faced harsh criticism for including Ms. Manning, a former Army private convicted of leaking classified information, in the visiting fellows program at the school’s Institute of Politics. Ms. Manning was named to the group on Wednesday, joining Sean Spicer, the former White House press secretary, and Corey Lewandowski, a former campaign manager for President Trump, among others. Fellows travel to Harvard to meet with students and discuss politics and other topics.
Mr. Elmendorf told Ms. Manning, who was sentenced to 35 years in prison for providing classified information to WikiLeaks, that she was still invited to speak at Harvard. But he said that the school could no longer give her the title of visiting fellow. The school was concerned that the title implied an endorsement and did not want to come across as endorsing Ms. Manning and her views, he said.
If Harvard and Elmendorf had done this right from the beginning, they would not have made any of the three “Fellows,” neither Manning,…
When asked by a member of Ms. Manning’s team why Mr. Spicer and Mr. Lewandowski were being endorsed, Mr. Elmendorf said that they had something to bring to the table, the source said.
The call lasted about 10 minutes; Ms. Manning’s team left the conversation stunned and insulted.
Manning is always going to be a controversial figure. However, one may feel about transparency and providing documents on the inner workings of the Deep State to organizations like WikiLeaks, he/she was a member of the U.S. military at the time and there are rules against such things. The violation of those rules have consequences as Manning quickly discovered.
It’s hard to see how Manning didn’t receive preferential treatment simply because of the elevated status of transgenders in today’s post-Obama wasteland. Anyone else would still be locked up instead of being fawned over by the left like a Hollywood celebrity.
I still don’t want my taxes to go to Manning’s sex change surgery.
Regardless of what this convicted traitor claims, he is a biological male.
Factually, her has a penis, testes, produces male hormones in amounts expected in a male person.
He is dressing as a woman, having himself injected with female hormones, wearing lip gloss and referring to himself by using female pronouns.
This level of denial is very odd.
So is the level at which he promotes the idea he was excused or forgiven for his crime. He was not. President Obama, a curious man himself, had the authority to delete the sentence, the findings of the court and the sentence. He simply allowed the time served as sufficient for the crime. The fact manning is still a convicted felon is of note. Unless his home state allows him to vote, as a convicted felon, he is forbidden to vote. He can hold no job in any company who has contracts with the federal government. He can no longer work for any company requiring assorted levels of clearance for security reasons. Nor can he translate for any company whose licenses are issued by the US Government.
He is forbidden to own any firearms. He can work for no one whose licenses to operate is dependant on the US Government. For example, banks, stock sales, insurance, radio or TV stations. He is barred from places that sell liquor. Example, gay club or bars that are serving alcohol while he is present. Factually, they can loose their license to sell or distribute alcohol under the auspices of the ATF.
He can however, play at being a thick waisted, sad looking copy of a 1940’s pretend poster. he can call himself a female.
His is an American, I think.
As an American, I also have the right to shun him, protest at companies that hire him, and openly and loudly demonstrate against a man who sold me out. Sold out my friends and neighbors. Sold out my fellow Texans. He sold out all real Americans, all based apparently, on how he viewed his penis.
He is bloody fortunate this is not 50 years ago. he would have been dead 2 weeks after being found guilty.
He has his rights, as do I. I hate the rat bastard. Even Edward Snowden had a set of morals. This jerk simply had vagina envy.
pa!
Marc Conder, Very well said.
I can see the 40’s poster look, but I was thinking more Taylor Swift
(Bradley) Chelsea Manning – says it all, doesn’t it? I mean, he is a guy, then a girl, then an angry traitor, given the ability to walk free from the president that led from behind……never stood up for our military, never stood up for our police – what a confused and angry country we became under the worst president in history, Obama. And now we have Bradley walking around like he has been offended, when he is lucky he is not in jail.
