Trump campaign calls Iraq veteran ‘lily-livered’ for flipping to DeSantis
The Hill ^ | 07/14/2023 | MIRANDA NAZZARO

Posted on 07/14/2023 12:37:10 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump’s campaign described Iowa State Senator Jeff Reichman (R) as “lily-livered,” for flipping his endorsement to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) following Trump’s attack on Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) earlier this week.

In a statement to The Hill, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung stated, “There is no room for weak-kneed and lily-livered people on Team Trump.”

No combat action ribbon.. Wondering what Rambo actually did?
I’ll stand with Trump. USMC officer corps showed America a treasonous side when Trump came to office. Mattis, Allen, Dunford, and all the clowns that ruthlessly enforced the covid rules and cracked down on criticism of the incompetence of the Afghan evacuation.

I agree with you that politics is a blood sport.

My only issue was not how the vet reacts to Trump (or his campaign) but how it will be perceived by the GOP voters. It would be one thing if he was talking about supporting a Democrat but that wasn’t the case here. His campaign didn’t need to do this.

Trump’s *entire* focus should be on the Biden Crime Family,the state of the nation and on criminals at the FBI,the DOJ and at several county prosecutors’ offices.

“Never looks good when you insult a combat Vet”

He’s not a combat vet. He was awarded no combat action ribbon and his bio is suspiciously devoid of what unit he was in or what job he did. Some kind of staff guy. Two, yes, you can indeed insult a combat vet. McCain deserved America’s scorn. John Kerry is another. Crenshaw is a tool. Mattis is a closet homo and either corrupt or stupid judging from the way Elizabeth Holmes brought him into her scam.

“What a large bunch of week kneed wimps who have inhabited Free Republic these days (not you specifically).”

Trump has been called the most degrading names in American political history, and if he or someone comes out with a response that is not Eagle Scout, some people get their panties in a wad in one second. Much more upset than at sniffer Biden, who is actively, literally, destroying the nation as fast as he can.

“There is no room for weak-kneed and lily-livered people on Team Trump.”

Comments like that and others he has made in recent days are not appropriate for an individual who is vying for conservative votes.

He needs to tone down the gutter rhetoric and stick to policy issues and his accomplishments while president rather than personal attacks.

No, not his entire focus. He has to deal with “Republicans” who are working just as hard to derail America.

“Trump and supporters should be ashamed at the incessant trashing of fellow Americans, especially Republicans and veterans.”

You dimwit. Can you name a person in this country who has not been trashed more by his fellow Americans and especially Republicans, and some Republican veterans?

“””As I said, politics is a blood sport.”””

Not within the party.

He’s got the nomination sewn up. He can focus on scumbags of all stripes after the convention.

That doesn’t excuse Republicans, conservatives, Trump supporters, and Trump from trashing fellow republicans and veterans. How many more voters did Trump just lose? Is he trying to lose and be a martyr?

No...his lily-livered spokesman did, but thanks for the weak-kneed response. 😀

Always have to read the attribution of who actually said the quote.

Media reports trying to pin this on Trump directly will unfortunately resonate with the ignorant masses who take everything the lying liberal left-wing lily livered media says as gospel.

It won't be within the party after the primaries, which is par for the course.

Trump receives criticism in many forms as well, and is quick to retaliate, deserved or not.

President Trump frequently makes cringe worthy statements, many I wish wouldn't have been made, but it is what it is.

When is Fatass Christie going to STFU and stop his pointless and puerile attacks on President Trump? They're in the same party, aren't they?

Over 8 months to first primaries and caucuses and over a year to the convention, i wouldn’t start measuring curtains just yet.
