Cadet Bone Spurs calls Marine Vet "American Fraud" on Memorial Day

When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

President Trump spent part of Memorial Day taking shots at Rep. Conor Lamb (D-Penn.), calling him an "American fraud," misrepresenting his voting record, and spelling his name wrong, all in one tweet.
Lamb, a Marine Corps veteran, represents Pennsylvania's 17th Congressional District. The state's primary is next week, and Trump took the opportunity to praise his opponent, Republican Army combat veteran Sean Parnell, while slamming Lamb. "Sean Parnell is an American Hero," Trump tweeted. "Connor Lamm has proven to be an American fraud, and a puppet for Crazy Nancy Pelosi. He said he would NOT vote for her for Speaker, and did. Will kill 2A. Voted to impeach (on nothing). A TOTAL & COMPLETE Sean Parnell Endorsement!"
Lamb was one of more than a dozen Democrats to not vote for Pelosi as speaker of the House in 2019. In response, Lamb tweeted that Trump and other Republicans have been "lying about my record since the day I became a candidate. It hasn't stopped, and it won't stop, until we beat them at the ballot box in November."
The tweet:
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

My guess is that because Lamb was a Judge Advocate (lawyer) he is a veteran in name only per Trump’s tweet. The opponent took that Trump endorses is a “real” fighting veteran. This district in PA is normally GOP and Lamb won in a narrow special election so I would put this in the category of electioneering.
Classy on Memorial Day? Not even close but the timing is good to draw attention to it.
