Controversy Continues Over Navy Commander's Ousting
ResumeThere are calls for acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly to resign after a fiery speech Monday, where he said that the now-ousted commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt Brett Crozier was either "too naive or too stupid" to lead.
Modly has now apologized. Crozier was ousted after writing a memo that was leaked to the press raising red flags about the coronavirus spreading on his ship.
