Democrat J B Byden criticized President Donald Trump in which the U.S. Mention of “losers” and “suckers” killed in the war called them “disgusting” and “reprehensible”.
“Quite clearly if what is written in the Atlantic is true, it confirms what most of us believe to be true – that Donald Trump’s job as president and becoming commander-in-chief is not appropriate,” Biden said in a campaign speech. Wilmington, Dale.
Trump and former allies have vehemently denied the accounts in the article.
Biden requested military service from his son Bauni, who later died of cancer. “He wasn’t a sucker. The servicemen and women he served with, especially those who didn’t come home, weren’t defeated,” Biden said.
“If these statements are true, then the President should humbly apologize to every Gold Star mother and father and every Blue Star family for the insults and insults he has inflicted.
“Heck who thinks that is it?” Biden continued.
Trump, the Democratic presidential candidate, said he has “no loyalty to any cause other than his.” If the article is accurate, Byden added, “It’s too bad. It’s notorious.”
Democratic legislators who have served in the military and other U.S. veterans also blasted the president.

Duckworth, who lost part of his leg and part of his right arm while on duty in Iraq, also mentioned Trump’s use of medical delays to avoid participating in the Vietnam War.
Duckworth said, “I believe in my wheelchair and my titanium legs above Donald Trump that any day the bone gets excited.”
An Atlantic article published on Thursday claims that Trump’s decision to honor American service members visiting the Sne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018 was canceled because he did not want to wet his hair and because he did not think that That is important. .
“Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s full of lost people,” Atlantic quoted Trump aides as saying, quoting four people with the first knowledge of the debate. Some aides who traveled to France with Trump denied the report after it was published.
The report also said that Trump specifically asked that wounded veterans, including amputees, be excluded from military parades during the White House planning session in 2018. “No one wants to see that,” the magazine quoted Trump as saying. “
On Friday morning, Wattweats of the Progressive Pirans Group, which has been critical of the president, placed an ad online ad featuring angry Gold Star parents in the report.
One of the six parents featured in the clip says, “My son is not lost.”
Marine P te rep. Connor Lamb, D.P.A., noted the history of soldiers buried at Isne-Marne and said, “That cemetery deserves the utmost respect and adoration of any American.”
Trump, who vehemently denied the account on Thursday night, said at an event at the Oval Office on Friday that “it was a fake story written by a magazine that would not last long.”
“But it was a totally fake story and it was confirmed by a lot of people who were really there. It was a terrible thing that someone could say what kind of things and especially for me, because I did more for the military.” Almost no one else, ”he insisted.
Trump also lashed out at the magazine on Twitter, saying, “Atlantic magazine is dying like most magazines, so they make up a fake story to get some relevance. The story is already denied, but this is what we oppose.” Doing. Like a fake dossier. You fight and fight, and then people realize it’s a hoax! “
In an interview with CNBC on Friday, Vice President Mike Pence also pushed against the report.
“I was not in Paris but that never happened. I spoke to the President that day, “Pence said.
“I know how disappointed President Trump was that there was a call of bad weather that didn’t allow us to go to Bellwood to honor those who fell there,” the vice president added. “I don’t need anyone to tell the president. Donald Trump is our weapon. We respect the members of the forces, like I’ve never met, and that’s why I reject this story out of hand. “
In a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Kyle McKinney noted that ten current and former administration officials who were on a trip to Paris in 2018 denied the accounts of the garbage cemetery described in the article. McKennie also displayed an email showing a planned helicopter flight to the memorial, which was called off due to bad weather at the time.
“The story of the Atlantic is clearly debunked,” he said, adding that the story was “based on cowardly anonymous sources,” which “probably doesn’t even exist.” “No one, and I mean no one, he loves and cares for us as much as our servicemen and women like Donald J. Trump.”
She refused to take questions.
