‘YOU’RE The Sucker! YOU’RE The Loser!’ Furious Biden Goes After Trump Over Dead Vets Quote
President Joe Biden went after former President Donald Trump over his infamous “suckers and losers” quote, fairly spitting “YOU’RE the sucker! YOU’RE the loser!”
President Biden and Trump finally went head-to-head at CNN’s debate Thursday night in the earliest general election presidential matchup ever, with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash moderating.
Biden got fired up as he talked about his son Beau and Trump’s quote — reported by Trump’s then-Chief of Staff John Kelly — calling American war dead “suckers” and “losers.”:
For example, veterans are a hell of a lot better off since I passed the PACT Act. 1 million of them now have a chance. And their families have it. Their families have it.
Because what happened, whether it was Agent Orange or burn pits, they’re all being covered now.
And he opposes his group opposed that.
We’re also in a situation where we have great respect for veterans. And I spent my son spent a year in Iraq. Maybe one of the– next to one of those burn pits came back with stage four glioblastoma.
I was recently in and in France from D-Day, and I spoke about those heroes that died. I went to the World War Two cemetery, World War One cemetery refused to go to.
He was standing with his four star general and he told him, he said, “I don’t want to go in there because they’re a bunch of losers and suckers.”.
My son was not a loser, was not a sucker. You’re the sucker! You’re the loser!
