Trump came back. Veterans stood up.
VoteVets didn’t flinch — we led.
From confronting GOP cruelty to town halls in deep-red states, we’re elevating Veteran voices, organizing for 2026, and taking back the flag.
The fight is on — and we’re just getting started.

1. John McCain was a war hero.
2. John McCain is no longer around to answer smears and attacks.
3. It is therefore repugnant for Donald Trump to smear him, continuously and maliciously.
4. Trump must stop it, and apologize.

Donald Trump was briefed to not do what he did. He was warned not to do what he did. And he still went and did it.

And there you go. Donald Trump is using footage and photos his campaign took at Arlington National Cemetary for political purposes -- against the rules and laws that govern this hallowed ground. Arlington officials tried to stop him from politicizing the cemetery, and Trump staff physically attacked them. This whole episode is sickening and affront to all those hundreds of thousands of families who never agreed to allow their deceased loved ones to be dragged into politics.

What's worse, he seemingly read it off the teleprompter, meaning the entire White House didn't care enough to get it right, either.

Holy shit -- Trump dismisses a Navy SEAL who has been critical of him as "a Hillary Clinton fan & Obama backer" & criticizes Navy SEALs for not taking out bin Laden *sooner.*
"Frankly, wouldn't it have been nice if we had gotten Osama bin Laden a lot sooner than that?"
