For a brief moment on Thursday, the Pentagon was part of "the resistance."
Politico reports its Twitter account retweeted a message which, amid the current wave of sexual misconduct allegations, called on President Trump to resign.
The tweet was posted by @ProudResister and it read, "The solution is simple...Roy Moore: Step down from the race. Al Franken: Resign from congress. Donald Trump: Resign from the presidency. GOP: Stop making sexual assault a partisan issue. It's a crime as is your hypocrisy."
