Iraq War veteran Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., didn’t mince words about President Trump’s redirection of Pentagon resources to a U.S.-Mexico border wall after Congress declined to fund it.
“If anything, he’s cut funding for our military readiness. He’s stealing from the military,” Sen. Duckworth told the Yahoo News show “Through Her Eyes.”
“He’s sending troops to the border to sit around in the desert,” she added. “Thousands of miles from where these migrants are, instead of going to training. He’s also now been supportive of deporting veterans who serve who are green card holders.”
She also took Trump to task for his recent comments to British broadcaster Piers Morgan about military service.
“It would’ve been an honor to serve,” President Trump told Morgan when asked about his lack of military service. “But I think I make up for it right now … because we’re rebuilding our military at a level that it’s never seen before.”
