The Air Force and the command structure at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, are backpedaling to distance themselves from a message distributed on the installation that labeled Turning Point Action an “alt-right” organization (without explaining what that was) and cautioned airmen that attending the conservative political rally could result in them being forced to leave the Air Force.
How It Started
Tuesday, RedState reported on a message circulating on Minot AFB. Minot AFB is the only airbase to host both strategic bombers and ICBMs. The 5th Bomb Wing operates 26 B-52 aircraft, and the 91st Missile Wing operates 150 ICBM sites. The message on a popular, non-official Facebook page purported to synopsize an official base leadership message.

The message’s subject was the November 17 Dakota Patriot Rally in Minot. The rally was locally organized, and a senior member of  Turning Point Action, a political advocacy group, was the headlining speaker.
Turning Point Action was characterized as an “alt-right organization.” Airmen were told that the crowd attached might be confrontational with Air Force personnel (makes you wonder about the IQ of the person who posted it). And they were warned, “that participation with groups such as Turning Point Action could jeopardize their continued service in the U.S. military.”
