Sep 4, 20201:27Now PlayingDemocratic presidential nominee Joe Biden intensified efforts to frame the November election as a referendum on President Donald Trump's character, as Trump defended himself Friday against accusations that he mocked American war dead.
The allegations, sourced anonymously in The Atlantic, describe multiple offensive comments by the president toward fallen and captured U.S. service-members, including calling World War I dead at an American military cemetery in France as "losers" and "suckers" in 2018.
The reported comments, many of which were confirmed independently by the AP, are shining a fresh light on Trump's previous public disparaging of American troops and military families and opening a new political vulnerability for the president less than two months from Election Day.
Biden called for Trump to apologize to "every Gold Star mother and father and every Blue Star family that he's denigrated and insulted."
"President Trump has demonstrated he has no sense of service, no loyalty to any cause other than himself," he said in Wilmington, Delaware on Friday. "If I have the honor of being the next commander in chief, I will ensure that our American heroes know I'll have their backs, honor their sacrifice."
