“I stand by my statement against both Robert Pittenger and our Democratic challenger. Both have cowardly remained silent against the racism, bigotry, and buffoonery of President 45 over the past days. We all serve our country in our own chosen ways. The fact that our challenger decided to serve our country in his own way is a decision best for his situation. But, that does not make him better or worse than any other American citizen who serves our country in their own ways. Just being a Marine veteran doesn’t qualify a person to represent my family if they are cowardly silent when we most need it them.”
