Veteran with service dog mocked in Trump-backed ad, sparking outrage on Memorial Day eve
Veterans are condemning President Donald Trump-backed ads mocking a military vet's disability ahead of Memorial Day, labeling it as 'the most shameful thing.' The controversy is added to a Texas congressional race already marred by scandal.
Veterans have condemned President Donald Trump-backed military vet Robert Santangelo for disability-themed political ads released ahead of Memorial Day, labeling them 'the most shameful thing' and criticizing the mocking of a disabled American service member's condition. The ads were part of Santangelo's campaign in his Texas congressional race. Many veterans feel the ads are insensitive and betraying the principles of patriotism and respect that come with Memorial Day. The backlash has sparked outrage among some in the military community who claim the ads will damage the reputation of those who have served.
