President Joe Biden loves to pretend that his political rival former President Donald Trump hates U.S. troops. A transcript of a recent strategy call between Biden and several Democrats — including one Bronze Star congressman — however, suggests it’s the 81-year-old who has shown true contempt for veterans.
The exchange published in Puck documents Biden lashing out against members of the New Democrat Coalition after they questioned his disastrous debate performance and chances of a 2024 reelection. Rep. Jason Crow, a former Army Ranger who received a Bronze Star Medal for his role in the 82nd Airborne Division, received the bulk of Biden’s wrath after he “asked about the importance of national security to voters.”
The president then launched into a screed detailing why he believes Crow is “dead wrong on national security.”
The clincher came when Biden demanded Crow “Tell me who did something that you’ve never done with your Bronze Star like my son.”
While Biden did not repeat the lie that Beau Biden (who earned a Bronze Star after serving in Iraq) died in Iraq, as he has claimed several times before, the president did imply that Beau did more with his decoration than Crow, who served three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
While Biden and his administration were busy amplifying a hoax about Trump, the Democrat was also busy lying about the circumstances of his son’s death and whitewashing the military deaths that happened under his watch.
Speaking of watches, it was Biden, not Trump, who appeared to check his timepiece at a transfer ceremony for the 13 U.S. service members who lost their lives thanks to his administration’s hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan.
