What Trump said about Ruben Gallego last night was beyond the pale

Ruben’s unit did some of the hardest fighting of the entire Iraq War. They suffered some of the heaviest casualties.

Please, chip in.]( If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly: [Donate $3]( [Donate $25]( [Donate $50]( [Donate $100]( [Donate $250]( [Other Amount]( {NAME}, it wasn’t just that Trump attacked Ruben last night. It’s how he did it. He butchered the pronunciation of his last name. He called him a “maniac” and said he “shouldn’t even be allowed to run” against Kari Lake. But one thing stuck out more than any other to me… If you’ve been following the news for a while, you know that Trump called fallen Marines buried at the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery in France “suckers” and “losers.” These men were the bravest of the brave. Heroes from World War I. To Trump, they’re “suckers” and “losers.” Last night, Trump called Marine combat veteran Ruben Gallego a “loser.” Ruben’s unit did some of the hardest fighting of the entire Iraq War. They suffered some of the heaviest casualties. Ruben lost some of his best friends over there. He served our country and that deserves respect, no matter what party you belong to. Trump will never understand the meaning of service or self–sacrifice. He’ll never give our veterans the respect they deserve. Ruben’s getting pummeled right now by the MAGA Right after Trump’s attacks. As I said, I know what that’s like. So, to help fight back, I’m humbly asking you to chip in to his campaign. [If you can afford it, splitting a $3 donation between Ruben’s campaign and mine will go a long way towards fighting back against Trump right now. It’s going to add up fast if a ton of people chip in.]( If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly: [Donate $3]( [Donate $25]( [Donate $50]( [Donate $100]( [Donate $250]( [Other Amount]( Thanks so much.
