Related: About this forumOn Memorial Day, Trump insults Marine Corps veteran Conor Lamb by calling him 'American fraud'
On Memorial Day, President Trump called Marine reserve officer and Pennsylvania Rep. Conor Lamb an American fraud on Twitter.
Almost a week before the states primary, Trump threw his support toward Sean Parnell, an Army combat veteran from Cranberry, who is running for Lambs seat in the 17th Congressional District.

And then there were the facts.
Trump misspelled Lambs name, with Connor Lamm. Then he said Lamb, a Democrat from Mt. Lebanon, voted for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House in 2019. Lamb was one of more than a dozen Democrats to not vote for Pelosi.
Trump also claimed Lamb would help to kill the Second Amendment and showed his anger about Lambs votes to impeach him in December.

He must be worried and needs his delusional base.

He hates America and Americans, he hates service people and treats them like dirt, unless they praise him. He's lied about them. He really hates service members.
