Buttigieg On Trump's Disabled Vet Slam: 'Latest In A Pattern Of Outrageous Attacks'
Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg responded to recent reporting by The Atlantic in a profile of Gen. Mark Milley that Trump was apparently disgusted that Milley allowed a wounded veteran to perform "God Bless America" during a ceremony he attended.
Here's more on that report from MSNBC: Disabled veterans seem to get respect from everybody but Donald Trump:
In The Atlantic’s profile of Gen. Mark Milley, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the general shared an anecdote that serves as a shocking reminder of former President Donald Trump’s disdain for disabled people, even people whose disabilities are the result of their military service. Trump, Milley said, didn’t appreciate Milley’s choice of veteran Luis Avila to sing “God Bless America" during Milley’s welcoming ceremony as chairman. In the course of five combat tours, Avila had lost a leg and suffered brain damage, two heart attacks and two strokes.
