Why is this a surprise? Most the people in leadership positions in the Democrat party were spitting on service members during Vietnam.
This is probably like the trail of tears, slavery, the kkk, japanese internment, and Jim Crow. We are not supposed to talk about what Democrats did in the past.
Exactly, the current Republican leader served during Vietnam despite his bonespurs and even won a purple heart.
And thanks for reminding that Dems used to be the party of Conservatives.
I am a conservative. I intend to give the American people a clear choice. I welcome a fight between our philosophy and the liberal left-wing dogma which now threatens to engulf every man, woman, and child in the United States. I am in this race because I believe the American people have been pushed around long enough and that they, like you and I, are fed up with the continuing trend toward a socialist state which now subjects the individual to the dictates of an all-powerful central government. - George Wallace, Conservative Democrat
