“He’s calling her to account for her positions on ISSUES rather than her victimhood.”
No, that is the mistake he made. If he had remained on the issues, only, he wouldn’t have a problem.
He “did” point out her victimhood relating to her service.
It was not needed. Socialist don’t care about right or wrong, only sensitivities.
You are right. It does no good to even mention what she is doing with her service and war injuries. It just makes her opponent look bad, EVEN IF TRUE.
