Hear how John Kelly responded to Trump’s comments on Medal of Honor recipients

Former Trump chief of staff and retired Marine Gen. John Kelly rejected former President Donald Trump’s comments that the Presidential Medal of Freedom that honors civilians was “much better” than the Medal of Honor given to service members, telling CNN that the two honors are “Not even close. No equivalency of any kind.” #CNN #News

The medal of honor was the last thing on those recipients minds as they were earning them.

He completely crapped on JOHN MCCAIN . Remember that folks.

[medygantz]

Do not make excuses for him! This is who he is! She is rich and donates to him and that is who he admires.

[EllenKlever-ck]

I can't watch trumps face, can't hear his voice without feeling disgusted and sick. Vote him out of our system, for EVER!

[midknight]

John Kelly needs to SPEAK UP and OFTEN.. we need to know everything

Presidential medal of freedom: give millions of dollars to politics. Medal Honor: sacrifice one's self to save one or more fellow servicemembers. No comparison.

I agree with General Kelly. Service members EARNED their medal through their blood, sweat, and tears. God bless them for their service.

[pamlew]

that hurts me to my heart because all the men and women who died for our freedoms in service to our country

[georgecyriac]

This is so shameful… how can anyone vote for this person

[LyonsM]

There is no way to defend that indefensible comment. Shame on you trump and much respect to all current Service Members, Veterans and Medal of Honor recipients.

[MT-lvls]

The Medal of Freedom is given.
The Medal of Honor is earned.

He is sickening I can’t stand him. 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

[sandrasgotvoice]

What's even more disturbing is that someone clapped for this disrespectful statement.

[tanyiabailey]

How disgraceful is this man. Unbelievable.

[estherstillwaggon]

HOW CAN ANYONE VOTE FOR THIS MAN. EXPLAIN THIS TOO ME 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙

[davej]

Rush Limbaugh sure as hell didn’t deserve a medal.

[heathw]

Bone spurs, but plays golf EVERY DAY.

[ChiefTJB]

Quite simply this is what insanity looks like.

I am so ready to turn the page on this P.O.S. Harris/Wallz 2024

[susmr]

The most disgusting thing about that man's comment is THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED THAT MAN'S COMMENT WITH APPLAUSE...
