Rob Portman believes Trump didn’t call veterans ‘losers’
Sen. Rob Portman wasn’t convinced by The Atlantic story last week that cited four anonymous sources claiming President Donald Trump referred to American war dead as “suckers” and “losers.”
Trump denies he made these comments. Portman, a Republican from Terrace Park, on Wednesday in a conference call to reporters wasn’t inclined to challenge the president.
“I don’t know how you renounce comments that people say didn’t occur,” Portman said. “There are a couple of anonymous sources, as I understand it, saying one thing. Then you have the president and many others on the record saying it is false.”
He was then pressed on whether he believes Trump called American veterans killed in war ‘suckers’ and ‘losers?’
“Do you?” Portman said. “I mean, I just think it’s one of these things where you have some anonymous sources somebody has come up with and then you have people who were there on the record saying it didn’t happen. What I do know is that under President Trump we have restored our military.”
