Veterans hit Trump as ‘draft dodger’ in Biden ad released on D-Day

Three veterans slammed former President Trump as a “draft dodger” and argued he is unfit to be commander in chief in a new video from President Biden’s reelection campaign unveiled Thursday, marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Marine Corps veteran Curtis Register, Army veteran Ed McCabe and Navy veteran Matthew McLaughlin participated in the minutelong video, which was intended to “highlight the stark contrast between Donald Trump, who criticizes veterans and has refused to take accountability or attend military funerals, and President Biden, who stands with our troops abroad and takes care of them at home,” according to the Biden campaign.

“A good commander in chief is somebody who gives a s‑‑‑,” Register said to open the video.

“Donald Trump has zero accountability in his life,” McLaughlin said.

McCabe added, “He’s a draft dodger, simple as that.”

The campaign highlighted that Trump reportedly referred to American veterans buried in France as “losers” and “suckers” and mocked then-Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who was a prisoner in the Vietnam War. Trump has previously denied making the “suckers” remark, though it was later confirmed by his former chief of staff, John Kelly.

“From draft dodging to promising to take away veterans’ hard-earned benefits to repeating the rhetoric of dictators, it’s clear that Donald Trump doesn’t care about those who have bravely served our country. He doesn’t understand their sacrifice or the values they vowed to protect,” Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) said in a statement.

Duckworth is a retired Army National Guard lieutenant colonel and a member of the Biden campaign’s national advisory board.

The claim that Trump called vets “losers” is from the fake news article in the Atlantic in 2020.

Trump also visited troops in Afghanistan.

All Biden did was check his watch.

Biden served. He was a dog-sniffing bomb.

Three little Democrat puppets, dancing under their strings.

And The Tater checks his watch, to see how long till they're done, so he can fill his diaper and fall asleep.

I thought being a draft dodger was a good thing to the left. What’s their problem?

They were probably kicked out of the military. At least Trump was a cadet in military school. That’s like basic training all school year long. Meanwhile Jill has wake the woke joke Joe, who is not a GI Joe either.

His son Hunter was kicked out of the Navy... Beau died in every war Biden’s ever talked about. The Hunter for the Red November.

Total BS. He was “known” and got a pass. The “veterans” who support are LIB leftist nitwits. Just because you were in the military doesn’t mean that you can’t be an a**hole.

The REAL SHAME! Sure, we noticed John Kerry in attendance today at the D-Day event. How could this vile human being who backed North Vietnam, lied about and defiled American soldiers, took a ride home because of a flesh wound to the ass, show up at Normandy Beach? Was he there because he thinks he is French or he just wanted to spit on more American Vets.

And we all know that Joe Biden ran to the local recruiting station in time to storm the beaches on D-Day!

Clinton and his admen made fun of Bob Dole who coped with lifetime disability after combat injuries. When some fool had Dole wave from a ledge display in a building with a short white picket fence that turned out to not be attached to anything and he almost fell forward, the news used it to say the frail looking Dole wasn’t like the fast moving Bill (who they didn’t admit was always running around mainly because of looking for more chicks).

Someone said that was the last election where it was assumed all candidates had military service.
