Cotton Defends Trump’s Belittling Of Medal Of Honor

“The point he was making is that he gives the presidential Medal of Freedom, just like other presidents do, to civilians who have done important things for their nation, but who haven’t sacrificed life and limb.

“And when you go to a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House and you’re presenting it to a soldier who has sacrificed his body, or to his parents or to his children, or his spouse, that it is of a different order of magnitude.

“It’s totally out of context. Jon, you’re totally taking that out of context. Donald Trump was great for our military. He is great for our veterans.

“Kamala Harris is the one who’s proposed, for instance, to cut the military every single year. Kamala Harris is the one who voted for military cuts when she was in the Senate.

“Donald trump has utmost respect for our veterans and our troops, and you see that by his record in office.” – Sen. Tom Cotton, today on ABC This Week.
