“After Donald Trump questioned Republican Sen. John McCain’s status as a war hero, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush quickly jumped to McCain’s defense. … But that outrage was missing ten years ago, when … Bush praised Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group that lobbed attacks questioning Kerry’s service record in Vietnam — attacks McCain unequivocally criticized in 2004 as ‘dishonest and dishonorable.'”
It’s very simple. Jeb! isn’t against attacking veterans. He’s upset because Trump attacked a fellow Republican, which is a no-no within polite GOP circles (who consider veterans fair game for vicious attacks if they’re Democrats.) By the way, neither Jeb! nor Trump ever served in the military. (Click here and here for story.)
