DNC candidate torches 'draft-dodging chickenhawk president.'

[elleng]

'A candidate for chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Saturday blasted President Trump, calling him “a draft-dodging chickenhawk president."

“I’ll be damned if we’re going to have a draft-dodging chickenhawk president of the United States – who thinks he’s too smart to read his own intelligence briefings – ordering the people I served with back into another conflict because he can’t be bothered to do his job properly,” South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg said at a DNC forum in Baltimore.

Buttigieg, who was deployed to Afghanistan while serving in the Navy Reserves, said during a panel with other DNC candidates that Democrats need to “tap into the moral outrage” across the country, alluding to protests over a series of executive actions Trump has taken in the first weeks of his presidency. Buttigieg criticized Trump for his order on refugees.'>>>

1. I'll bet that statement was warmly received.

2. I like this guy

He's probably not yet well known enough to win the DNC job, but I've seen him several times and I like what he says and the way he says it.

3. Instead of Vietnam, Trump had unprotected sex. He equates the risks.

I don't know how he survived the 1968 Vietnamese Mardi Gras uprising, also called the Tit Offensive.

He's a veteran, right?
