Donald Trump's shameful attacks on veterans and military families cannot go unchallenged. Republican "leaders" in Congress claim to support the troops, but they have remained silent while Trump relentlessly demeans our military community.
Why is this important?
Trump has a long and disgraceful history of disrespecting veterans and military families, but his callous treatment of Myeshia Johnson - whose husband was killed in Niger earlier this month - proves once and for all that he is unfit to be Commander in Chief.
When Trump called Ms. Johnson, not only did he tell the grieving widow that her husband, Sgt. La David T. Johnson "knew what he signed up for," he even struggled to remember the fallen soldier's name!
As an Afghanistan veteran, I want to know when Congress will finally stand up for our military community. Trump must be held accountable for his attacks on troops, veterans and their families. Tell Congress to censure Trump now.
