Rep. Patrick Ryan, Iraq War combat veteran, and Jamelle Bouie, New York Times columnist, discuss with Alex Wagner. - Aired on 08/16/2024.

1. I wonder how many that refused to believe the suckers and losers comments now realize it had to be true.

That shit about bullets and dead. How would anyone hearing that think there was no way he could have called them suckers and losers?

3. I still remember when that news broke when he was visiting France and I wondered what my Dad (U.S. Navy) would think

Not to mention both of my grandfathers who fought in World Wars and my great uncle (Silver Star WWI) and all four of my uncles (2 U.S. Navy, 2 U.S. Army).

And I certainly thought it was over for him after his attack on POW John McCain.

4. That's the thing! And his father got that diagnosis as a favor for him from a physician who was one of his tenants

And then was what Mary Trump said in her book - Junior once considered joining the military and his parents said they'd disown him.
