VFW fires back at Obama: Politics not ‘confused’
— The nation’s largest veterans group hit back at President Obama on
Thursday and urged him not to “denigrate” their intelligence after the
president suggested their members were easily swayed by cable news and
“right-wing radio.”
The Veterans of Foreign Wars called out the president
after Obama referenced the political opinions at “VFW halls” in an
Indiana speech Wednesday that toggled between campaign politics and the
economy.
“I don’t know how many VFW Posts the president has
ever visited, but our near 1.7 million members are a direct reflection
of America,” VFW National Commander John A. Biedrzycki Jr. said in a
statement. “We don’t have confused politics, we don’t need left or
rightwing media filters telling us how to think or vote, and we don’t
need any President of the United States lecturing us about how we are
individually [affected] by the economy.”
