VFW assures me he is NOT a member. The woman was as upset as I was at this spectacle.
If enough people call perhaps they will issue a statement of fact about this liar.
Actually, we as Conservatives should let this one go. At least until after he wins the primary. From what I read, Conneticut’s primary is not until September. This guy is toast if he’s the candidate. If too much gets whipped up over this, he may not be the candidate. That said, you have to admire this guy’s hutzpa. Having a presser in front of a VFW surrounded by Marines. When he lies, he lies big!!
The tape that is shown on hotairpundit does not show the Marines behind him. If there were active duty Marines behind him, he could have gotten them together from a local reserve unit. They do things for politicians all the time. It does not mean that they support him. The guys behind him to his right were wearing Marine Corps League jackets so I assume they are former Marines. Though you can join and be a social member. I would say that in general, Marines are probably 2/3 to 3/4 conservatives.
