VOTEVETS: 28 GOLD STAR FAMILIES SLAM TRUMP ON 4-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF KHAN DNC SPEECH

"Trump knows NOTHING of sacrifice or service to this country..he cares NOTHING about the Constitution nor the men & women who risk and lose their lives in its defense"

#GoldStarFamiliesVsTrump
July 28, 2016: Khizr & Ghazala Khan spoke at the DNC as Gold Star parents of Captain Humayan Khan.

Today: 28 families look back at Trump’s reaction as "an early chapter in Donald Trump’s incessant abuse of Gold Star Families"

READ THE FULL LETTER HERE: votevets.org/press/open-let…
In 2016, Khizr Khan told Donald Trump: “You have sacrificed nothing and no one.”

After four years...it’s only become more painful and clear: Donald Trump knows nothing of sacrifice or service to this country, Donald Trump knows nothing about honor.

#GoldStarFamiliesVsTrump
In 2016, Khizr Khan asked Donald Trump: “Have you even read the U.S. Constitution?”

After four years with Donald Trump as Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces, we know he cares nothing about the Constitution nor the men and women who risk and lose their lives in its defense.
Donald Trump is so grossly negligent to those men and women that he refuses to digest daily intelligence reports presented by the U.S. military and the intelligence communities.

#GoldStarFamiliesVsTrump
In fact, he has sought to reward an enemy who targeted our troops in a murder-for-hire scheme.

#GoldStarFamiliesVsTrump
What Donald Trump is incapable of knowing—a love of country so deep it can carry one through the worst moments of life—we very much know.

#GoldStarFamiliesVsTrump
We know what the air at places like Arlington Cemetery smells like when ceremonial rifles are fired graveside. We know what a folded flag felt like when it was handed to us.

#GoldStarFamiliesVsTrump
We know that the pain our wounded warriors at Walter Reed and VA hospitals endure is not a backdrop for cheap photo ops for twitter.

#GoldStarFamiliesVsTrump
We know an ache that we’d never wish on anyone—an ache that never goes away. Men and women like our loved ones represent the absolute best of this country.

#GoldStarFamiliesVsTrump
They deserved better than Donald Trump back in 2016, they deserve better than Donald Trump today, and they deserve better than Donald Trump come November 3rd, 2020. We all do.

STATEMENT FROM VOTEVETS DIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENT RELATIONS, @Will_P_Goodwin:

We are heartbroken by the murder of a young soldier in Texas, Vanessa Guillen, who represented the absolute best of our military. 

(Thread 1/)
Vanessa’s sister has told the American people “she wanted to be a soldier because she wanted to protect and serve the nation.” Protecting American servicemembers like Vanessa is a matter of military readiness and national security.

2/
Our military is strong because of the men and women who fills its ranks. The Army’s response to this tragedy demands a full and comprehensive review. The family deserves the full truth. We demand #JusticeForVanessaGuillen.”

(THREAD) Confederate traitors killed over 360,000 Americans in the Civil War to defend slavery, yet Army bases across the US bear their namesake with pride. We want to highlight who these monsters were and their crimes against our country:
Camp Beauregard near Pineville, LA, named after Confederate Gen. P.G.T Beauregard. Beauregard led Confederate troops in the First Battle of Bull Run, Battle of Shiloh, and the Second Battle of Petersburg, resulting in the deaths and casualties of over 50,000 troops.
Fort Benning, near Columbus, GA, named after Confederate Brig. Gen. Henry L. Benning. An advocate for secession after a failed run for Congress, He was appointed to the GA Supreme Court where he challenged state adherence to the Supreme Court rulings. He ACTUALLY said this:...
