#LetterstotheEditor: I was #deployed to #Iraq. #TimWalz’s #militaryservice deserves #gratitude.

I am #ashamed of the 50 #Republican #veterans who signed a #letter #denigrating the #militaryservice of #Minnesota #Gov. #TimWalz, the #Democratic #vicepresidential #nominee.

#PeteButtigieg #slams #ShadyVance’s (#JDVance) “#stolenvalor” attack targeting #TimWalz.

#FalseClaim has been #rebutted by the #Minnesota #NationalGuard. Buttigieg also brought up the "#childlesscatlady" mess.

“Come to think of it, denigrating the #worth of a #soldier’s #service based on whether he deployed to a #warzone is… kind of like #denigrating the worth of a #woman’s #citizenship based on whether she happens to have #children.”

In their own filing, Bragg’s office urged the court to dismiss the appeal, arguing that #Trump has a “well-documented history of leveling #threatening, #inflammatory, & #denigrating remarks against trial participants.”

Decision:

“Appeal dismissed without costs, by the Court sua sponte, upon the ground that no substantial constitutional question is directly involved.”
