Jake Paul reacts to the criticism surrounding their Pentagon visit

In a new, lengthy social media message, Jake Paul opened up and publicly addressed the negativity regarding their Pentagon visit.

“America is not a spectator sport. Apparently Logan and I going to Washington meeting with the Vice President, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, and other leaders of this country really pisses some people off,” he wrote.

“Good. Because I’d rather be in the room asking questions, learning, challenging ideas, building relationships, and figuring out how I can help than sitting behind a screen telling everyone else what they should be doing.

“Twitter fingers have never built a country. Think about how insane the American Dream really is. Two brothers with a camera and a crazy amount of ambition can build businesses, compete on the biggest stages in the world, employ hundreds of people, invest in the future of this country and one day walk into Washington and sit across from the people helping lead it,” he further added. “That should inspire people not offend them.”

“Washington doesn’t belong to commentators. It doesn’t belong to celebrities. It doesn’t belong to politicians. It belongs to the American people And whether people like me or hate me I’m going to keep showing up. Keep learning. Keep building. Keep investing in American companies. Keep creating jobs. Keep supporting American innovation. Keep meeting the people doing the hard work. Keep sticking my neck out. And keep trying to leave this country stronger than I found it,” Paul continued.

Paul further claimed that the next generation needs to believe that America is “still a place where you can dream impossibly big.” He added that this country gave him opportunities and now he intends to give something back. He finished off his long paragraph by stating, “God bless America.”

While Paul has never been directly linked with the White House, he has been spotted in public multiple times with the president, Donald Trump.
