Demings on Secretary Mattis Resignation | 2018-12-20 | 2018 | 2018-12 | Democrat | House | FL | Val Demings | D000627 | demings.house.gov | legacy | ORLANDO, FL Congresswoman Val Demings (D-Orlando) today responded to the resignation of U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis. Said Rep. Demings, We are entering a time of genuine danger to our country with the departure of Secretary Mattis, the last person in the White House to put the country before himself. We already know of situations in which reckless and illegal military actions were ordered by President Trump but ignored as cooler heads prevailed. Secretary Mattis was not a perfect man, but he was a force of experience, judgement, and stabilityeven though his experience has been ignored time and time again by our President. Secretary Mattis has said that when diplomacy fails, he has to buy more bullets. I worry that with his departure, there will be no voice left in the White House to resist the President's violent and destabilizing agenda. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
