Rep. Garamendi Wants Ousted Navy Captain Reinstated

When Navy Captain Brett Crozier was ousted from his position earlier this month, crew members on the USS Theodore Roosevelt chanted his name as he exited the aircraft carrier, according to footage shared on social media sites and Rep.

John Garamendi said the cheering showed the sailors wanted him to remain on the ship and he should be reinstated.

"The sailors on that ship..

They thought he was the best.

They wanted him to remain on the ship, you can tell by the way they cheered," the Democratic congressman from California told Cheddar Monday.

"Bring him back, let him get the ship back in a healthy situation."
