9:16Now Playing"President Obama disembarked from Marine One on Tuesday and saluted two Marines with a paper cup in his hand. For conservative talking heads the salute, which was captured in a video that the White House posted to its Instagram account, was proof positive of Obama's disregard for the military, ignorance of protocol, and general disrespect for the uniform.
Conservative pundits such as Sean Hannity were quick to denounce the President's salute. Hannity deemed the salute "shocking" as he discussed it with guest Karl Rove on his show on Tuesday night. He drew comparisons between Obama and former President George W. Bush and asked Rove whether Bush would "ever do that."
Rove called Obama's actions "disrespectful" after mockingly reenacting the salute given by, in his words, the "chai-swillin', golf-playin', basketball trash-talkin'" commander-in-chief.“* Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola (TYT University) and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) break it down.
