Biden, allied military vets slam Trump over Atlantic report, call comments 'disgusting'

 The president, the White House and Trump’s reelection campaign have all vigorously denied the allegations. These cover claims from four unnamed sources that the president disparaged fallen soldiers buried at the Aisne-Marne American cemetery near Paris as "suckers" and said the land was "filled with losers" back in 2018, in addition to trashing Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, following the death of the war hero and 2008 GOP presidential nominee.

But the president, speaking with reporters on Thursday night, called the report “a total lie. It's fake news.” And taking aim at the anonymous sources, he argued that "if they really exist, if people really exist that would have said that, they’re low lifes and they’re liars.”

On Friday morning he once again charged the report was "a fake story." Other sources have backed up the White House account of the 2018 trip, challenging the report in question.

 But Rep. Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania, who served as an officer in the U.S. Marines, said on the Biden campaign call that despite the denials, “the facts reported in this article have not only been confirmed by multiple news outlets but they are consistent with what we have all heard the president say publicly multiple times, and with the actions he has taken and not taken on behalf of our veterans.”

  1. Desperation. Despite all the actual material Trump's handed them, Joe Hiden and his team are watching their numbers slip so they now have to invent stories of Trump behaving badly.
    Yes, it's entirely plausible that Trump said this but there's no proof. "Unnamed sources" is the best they have.

  2. Your concept of numbers slipping is not based on the average poll numbers! Again Fox and AP have confirmed some of the material - so being from "unnamed sources" is largely irrelevant.
