Pete Buttigieg says there is 'no question' that Trump faked a disability to avoid fighting in Vietna

From an article at Business Insider:

In an interview with ABC News, which aired on Sunday, 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said that there is "no question" that President Trump faked a disability to avoid serving in the Vietnam War.

"There is no question, I think, to any reasonable observer that the president found a way to falsify a disabled status, taking advantage of his privileged status in order to avoid serving," he said.

He continued: "You have somebody who thinks it's all right to let somebody go in his place into a deadly war and is willing to pretend to be disabled in order to do it. That is an assault on the honor of this country."

at his rallies, and on and on and on.

Everything about him is a lie. Everything out of his mouth is a lie. His whole sorry life has been about nothing but conning people.
