Trump’s Purple Heart wasn’t the only odd moment at the rally in Virginia.

“It’s just one horror story after another and I don’t want to sound boring but it keeps coming to the same conclusion – the man is unfit to the President of the United States period”, Warren said.
The father of an American war hero killed in Iraq blasted Donald Trump for accepting a Purple Heart from one of his supporters.
“It’s one of the most handsome things that I’ve ever received”, Trump said. “This from a man who says he’s “sacrificed” for our country”, she said.
Trump added: “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart”.
For O’Donnell, Trump still has his vote, but he says the Republican nominee has a lot to learn. “You did not serve”, Khan told Cooper. I’ve regretted not serving in many ways, because so numerous greatest people I know have served and you saw that today, where the gentleman got up and gave me his Purple Heart, which is right here.
Congresswoman and Iraq War veteran Tammy Duckworth – who lost both legs and partial use of her arm in combat – had a powerful message for Donald Trump regarding his controversial remarks about receiving a Purple Heart as a gift.
Not only does Trump sound like a greedy child, but he yet again found a new way to disrespect veterans.
The back-and-forth between the nominee and the Khans soon escalated, prompting several top Republicans and The Veterans of Foreign Wars, a nonprofit service organization with 1.7 million members, to denounce Trump.
Duckworth also used the Democratic National Convention to take shots at Trump, as Politico wrote last week. “I hear that baby crying, I like it. What a lovely baby”.
Khan continued to sharply criticize Trump, saying that he “does not comprehend what is coming out of his mouth”.
“We’re not going to be able to help Donald realize his conveniently retroactive military fantasies, and based on precedent he could likely get a series of deferments to avoid going even if we tried”, said Kerr.
The multi-day imbroglio with Khan has dragged Trump off-message and invited some Republican leaders to pull the plug and no longer support Trump’s candidacy.
Need we bother explaining why this comment has drawn such ire?

“I would like to think she would find another career or find another company if that was the case”, Trump said Monday evening.
