Pete Buttigieg Rips Trump for \u2018Slander Against Veterans\u2019 in His Considerations to Pardon War Criminals: WATCH<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Pete Buttigieg tore into the \u201ccontinuing horror show\u201d in Washington in an interview with Martha Raddatz on ABC News\u2019 This Week<\/em> in which he slammed Donald Trump once again for faking a disability, but for \u201cslander against veterans\u201d in his consideration to pardon war criminals.<\/p>\n

Said Buttigieg: \u201cThere is no question, I think, to any reasonable observer that the president found a way to falsify a disabled status, taking advantage of his privileged status in order to avoid serving. You have somebody who thinks it\u2019s all right to let somebody go in his place into a deadly war and is willing to pretend to be disabled in order to do it. That is an assault on the honor of this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea that being sent to war turns you into a murderer is exactly the kind of thing that those of us who have served have been trying to beat back for more than a generation,\u201d Buttigieg explained, speaking of Trump\u2019s perverted plan to pardon war criminals. \u201cFor a president, especially a president who never served, to say he\u2019s going to come in and overrule that system of military justice undermines the very foundations, legal and moral, of this country. Frankly, his idea that being sent to fight makes you automatically into some kind of war criminal is a slander against veterans that could only come from somebody who never served.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Buttigieg: \u201cIt\u2019s a continuing horror show right now in Washington. And you have a president who has turned the entire thing into a reality show. We\u2019ve got to completely change the channel, and make sure that we respond to all of the \u2014 the distractions and the nonsense coming out of the White House, not just by calling him to account, but by returning consistently to the question of how American lives are shaped by those decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n
