A Marine Corps Twitter account at the center of controversy for lashing out at civilians deleted several tweets after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) sent a letter to the Pentagon secretary requesting a meeting with the commandant of the Marines following unusual and bellicose comments from the account against Fox host Tucker Carlson.
The Marines’ II Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group account sent a series of apologies for its tweets criticizing Carlson over the weekend. What’s more, the account on Sunday night appeared to delete the tweets to Carlson and another civilian, “Scott Malkinson,” who called on the Marines to “please focus on China and not Tucker Carlson.” In response, the account had said that he should “come back when you’ve served and been pregnant (sic).”
