You want to say that Tim Walz, somehow avoided leaving -- deploying with his unit and lead his unit down, fine. I totally don't agree, that's crap. But listen, Donald Trump fled the draft when his country needed him.
It's clear that what Donald Trump is trying to do is utilize them to buy time simply to get past an election.
He's turned these people that violated the rule of law into martyrs. And by the way, if we don't have rule of law in this country, democracy can't survive either.
I'm proud that I'm not standing here, sitting on a stage, supporting a man who is a habitual liar, who couldn't tell the truth, who pretended like the January 6th Committee deleted all evidence and it's on the frickin' Internet.
