| Description | A Republican running for the Senate in Wisconsin on Wednesday questioned the "cognitive thought process" of veterans who align with the Democratic Party.
Kevin Nicholson, himself a Marine Corps veteran, suggested during a radio interview on the "Steve Scaffidi Show" on Wisconsin's WTMJ that the mere act of joining the military is fundamentally conservative.
"And just because some people that don't call themselves conservatives and don't always act conservative do something conservative — like, let's talk about John Kerry — and signed up to serve this country, that doesn't mean that that's not a conservative thing to fundamentally protect and defend the Constitution," he said in the interview, highlighted by CNN.
Nicholson argued that voting for Democratic candidates, on the other hand, makes little sense for veterans, because the party had "rejected the Constitution."
"I'll tell you, the Democrat Party has wholesale rejected the Constitution and the values that it was founded upon," he said.
"So I'll tell you what: Those veterans that are out there in the Democrat Party, I question their cognitive thought process because the bottom line is, they're signing up to defend the Constitution that their party is continually dragging through the mud." |
