As John Amato discussed here yesterday, the Republicans are supposedly outraged over Donald Trump's remarks about John McCain, with the 2016 GOP clown car occupants rushing to condemn Trump and demand an apology for disparaging those who have served our country honorably.
So now they want us to believe their party cares about attacking veterans?
As Sarah Jones over at PoliticusUSA asked, where's the apology for how their party treated John Kerry and Max Cleland?
Hypocrite Republicans Demand Trump Apologize to McCain, But They Won’t Apologize to John Kerry:
To wit, ABC News did a recap of all of the puffed up Republicans climbing onto their moral high ground to praise veterans and demand an apology:
The Republican National Committee said in a statement condemning Trump, “Senator McCain is an American hero because he served his country and sacrificed more than most can imagine. Period. There is no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honorably.”
No place in our country? Attacking veterans is what Republicans do. They taught Donald Trump everything he knows on this matter.
Republicans have not explained why it was okay when they Swiftboated now Secretary John Kerry — something 2016 hopeful Jeb Bush thanked the conservative group behind the attacks for doing. Or how about John McCain himself helping Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) after the Republican dishonestly attacked triple amputee Max Cleland (D-GA), linking the war hero and recipient of the Silver Star and the Bronze Star to Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
What do these instances of no Republican demands for apologies have in common? Both John Kerry and Max Cleland are Democrats.
hey don't forget deadbeat dad joe walsh attacking Tammy Duckeorth on her service i think she gave quite a bit more that McCain. but he's your everyday all around good republican example of reprehension. that my friends is a 2fer disrespecting the troops and a women serving and being disabled by that service, being diminished by someone who never served the country other than being a crooked politician serving himself. despicable SOB
