Scott Ritter (Iraq weapons inspector and convicted sex offender) attacks Malcolm Nance on Twitter

Ritter was an ally against the Iraq War back in the day. Then, he trolled teenage girls on the internet...



Malcolm Nance ✔ @MalcolmNance

OMG. @DonaldJTrumpJr IS CARMEN SAN DIEGO!

BlueVotr #ImpeachTrump @BlueVotr

What comes to mind when you see this picture?



Scott Ritter @RealScottRitter

OMG! Malcom Nance is a wannabe James Bond! Those of us who know, know what a fraud you are. You can fool the ignorant masses, but you’ll never fool the professionals. PS...I’m a real intelligence officer, Master Chief. And I don’t need to play dress up to burnish my credentials.



Malcolm Nance ✔ @MalcolmNance

1st: That’s Senior Chief to you Mr “Those of us who know” but can’t Google. 2nd: ex-Marine “Intel professional”, I’m not an ex-Con & felon child stalker shilling for Trump Jr. Nor am I on lifetime sex offenders registry. I can’t same the same about you! Go call your parole officer

and to make sure no one accidently shoots him.

There's probably NO danger anyone would accidently shoot him.

He is, of course, a real "outdoorsy" kinda grifter.

so that he might be more impressed with his wealth?



Jeez, that's tacky. So damned ugly forcing heads of state to go see his "golden" rooms, after a ride in his ridiculous golden elevator.

If only my fellow Americans were as loyal to the Constitution as this man is to his team...pro hint: a political coup dressed up as impeachment does not a Constitutionalist make.

What happened to him? I drove all the way to Mpls. once to hear him speak about Iraq, before the IRW vote and invasion, but I got lost and never made it in time.

Ritter was on the right side of Iraqi war, for sure and was a great partner/co-author for Will Pitt's book. But damn did he self-destruct soon afterwards.

Malcolm simply posted his joke about Junior, and out of no where Ritter jumped in to insult Malcolm. No other context. Weird.

I read Will's book he co-wrote w/ Ritter. It was compelling and well-written. He was busted soliciting children for sex. Given what he revealed about the run-up to Iraq (and seeing how low the Bush admin would go to defend their Iraq incursion - Valerie Plame) I consider it might be a set up.

But then the Burger King incident happened:

He became impossible to defend after that...

Scott Ritter @ RealScottRitter

Replying to @MalcolmNance
A) I stand corrected, Senior Chief.
B) Do your homework...but who am I kidding, it’s you we are talking about.
C) And I don’t have to pose with silenced pistols I never carried while on active duty to prove myself to anyone.

Deflect all you want, Nance—you’re a fraud.
