John Kelly: High school teacher ‘ought to go to hell’

A lot of people have weighed in on high school teacher Gregory Salcido’s anti-military rant apparently captured on video earlier this month.

And now so too has retired general and White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly.

“Well, I think the guy ought to go to hell,” Kelly told Fox News Radio Wednesday. “I just hope he enjoys the liberties and the lifestyles that we fought for,” the Washington Post quotes him as saying.

Watch the interview here (the discussion about the teacher starts at about the 11 minute, 30 second mark):
