The first U.S. Army Green Beret ever elected to Congress, Rep. Mike Waltz, is defending former President Donald Trump against accusations that he does not care about military servicemembers or veterans. Waltz, who leads the Veterans for Trump coalition, emphasized Trump's support for the military during a recent press conference in Chicago.
Waltz criticized Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris, for discrepancies in his military record. In response to allegations that Trump disregards the military, Waltz highlighted Trump's actions, pointing to the VA MISSION Act as a significant piece of legislation benefiting veterans.
