Elise Jordan said Trump's allies don't care 'what your service to your country has been,' pointing out that 'you can be literally wounded in battle' and they'll still suggest you're 'a traitor.'
"It doesn't matter what your service to your country has been. You can be literally wounded in battle, and yet you are suddenly, if you don't fall in line with the cult, you are at traitor," Jordan asserted, referring to the attacks from Trump's Republican allies in Congress. Vindman received a Purple Heart after he was wounded while serving in Iraq.
In Johnson's letter to House Republicans, he argued, without evidence, that Vindman could have been working to remove the president from office. "A significant number of bureaucrats and staff members within the executive branch have never accepted President Trump as legitimate and resent his unorthodox style and his intrusion onto their 'turf,'" the GOP senator wrote,Politico."They react by leaking to the press and participating in the ongoing effort to sabotage his policies and, if possible, remove him from office. It is entirely possible that Vindman fits this profile.
Some conservatives have been attempting to undermine and discredit Vindman since his closed-door deposition last month. Fox News host Laura Ingraham, a staunch Trump defender, suggested that Vindman couldn't be trusted because he immigrated to the U.S. from the Soviet Union as a young child and speaks Russian and Ukrainian.
