DailyCaller | A California city councilman and high school history teacher at El
Rancho High School in Pico Rivera, Calif, was caught on video
disparaging the United States military and calling its members
“dumbshits” who are not “high-level thinkers.”
Gregory Salcido is a current member of the Pico Rivera City Council.
Three profanity-laced videos surfaced on Facebook Friday of Salcido
declaring to his students that members of the military are dumb people
who joined because they were poor students and that they are the “lowest
of our low” of the country.
“They’re the frickin’ lowest of our low,” Salcido can be heard saying.
Three video of Salcido’s comments were posted to Facebook by a family
friend of the student who took it and they quickly went viral. The
student, who wished to remain anonymous, is the son and nephew of
military veterans and told the local paper, “It was so disrespectful to my dad and my uncles and all veterans and those still in the military.”
Throughout the three videos, Salcido can be heard using vulgar
language to describe the military as failed students with no other
options but to serve. “We’ve got a bunch of dumbshits over there. Think
about the people who you know who are over there — your freaking stupid
uncle Louis or whatever, they’re dumbshits. They’re not, like,
high-level thinkers, they’re not academic people, they’re not
intellectual people, they’re the freaking lowest of our low. Not
morally, I’m not saying they make bad moral decisions, they’re not
talented people,”
