Thank you for stepping up and providing emergency care and thank you to the veteran who also aided as much as was possible. Politics aside when lives are at stake.

I'm sorry for your trauma but I thank you, and the others, for your assistance and service. I am definitely NOT a trump fan but I do NOT want harm to come to him, or any other fellow Americans. 🙏❣️🙏

Combat vet at a rally for a former president who thinks wounded vets are a disgrace? You people wonder what is wrong with this country. ... oh ... yes, I'm vet.

[ROOKTABULA]

I can't believe a combat _vet_ would be at a Cadet Bonespurs hate rally.

A veteran supporting a party that doesn’t support veterans. The jokes write themselves these days.

It’s disturbing an ER doctor with an education and critical thinking skills was at a Trump rally.

You guys are heartless. By no means am I a trump fan but shame on you for putting down a courageous EMT doing his job for nothing but his political beliefs.

[Cale-kryt]

God Bless those who rushed to help those in need. It's not easy. My heart aches ❤

[Richard-odyd]

So you were giving CPR to a victim who was shot in the Head ?
Isnt that redundant ?
Turn in your license.

What is a well educated man doing at a trump rally, surely he would have more common sense

[david]

while Trump was crying about his shoes. Pathetic

[Artysmarty]

You’d think a doctor would be smart enough not to join a cult. Guess not.

[sandraharper]

Thank the doctor and combat vet for their assistance and service. Still they need to do better at who they support.

The most concerning thing about this video is that an ER doctor was at a Trump rally

[Freedom_and_Democracy]

It's a shock that a doctor is at a trump rally!

[philthai]

I have no sympathy for Drumph and his violent rhetoric.
