Retired US Three-Star Army General Is Suspended From Mentoring Job For Mocking Jill Biden's Tweet On Abortion Rights

This screenshot of a since-deleted tweet posted by Retired Lt. Gen. Gary Volesky shows his response to a June 24 tweet by first lady Jill Biden on abortion. 

Daily Mail: Retired three-star Army general is suspended from mentoring job for mocking Jill Biden tweet slamming end of Roe v. Wade by replying: 'Glad to see you finally know what a woman is' 

* The offensive tweet may have cost the three star army general his $92 per hour mentoring job as the army conducts an internal investigation 

* Volesky responded to the First Lady's tweet less than a half an hour it posted 

* The word 'woman' and its definition has become a controversial topic that has prompted a culture war between conservatives and Democrats, who seemingly have dodged the answer for fear of angering woke pro-trans mobs 

* Volesky, who earned a silver star of valor while serving in Iraq, was in charge of the Army’s 101st Airborne Division, before his retirement in 2020 

A retired three-star Army general was suspended from a high paying mentoring job for mocking a recent tweet Jill Biden made regarding the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

'Glad to see you finally know what a woman is,' was the response Lieutenant General Gary Volesky tweeted on Friday. 

The tweet, which appeared to reference ongoing arguments over transgender rights and gender-neutral language, has since been removed. 

The offensive remark may have cost the retired army general his cushy $92 hour mentoring role as the Army conducts its own internal investigation.
