VoteVets.org : "He's dying anyway"


VoteVets


You probably heard the news. Last week, a senior White House official dismissed Senator McCain’s opposition to Trump’s CIA nominee Gina Haspel by saying that “it doesn’t matter” because “he’s dying anyway.”

Listen up.

Senator McCain spent five-plus years being tortured in Vietnam. He refused early release.

If Trump and his administration can spit on HIS service and joke about HIS death, then they send a signal that it is okay to do to ANY veteran.

This is a gut-check moment. And we’re helping veterans fight back against this morally bankrupt administration:


The slights against veterans are too many to count. The lies about donations, saying avoiding STDs was his own personal Vietnam, the privatizing veterans care, the federal job freeze that disproportionately impacted veterans.

We’re leading the fight back.

All my best,
Jon Soltz
Iraq War Veteran and Chairman
