After Donald Trump said he didn't want to include wounded war vets in a parade, John Kelly had to tell him that they were heroes.
Kelly was shocked by Trump's request according to an excerpt from an upcoming book.
I don't like them. "I don't think it's good for me that wounded veterans are included in the parade."
John Kelly, one of Donald Trump's former White House chiefs of staff, had to tell him that wounded veterans are heroes after the former president said he didn't want them in a military parade because he would make him look bad.
According to an excerpt from an upcoming book by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, Trump told Kelly that he didn't want injured veterans at a military parade.
According to the book, Trump said he didn't want wounded men in the parade. This looks bad for me.
Many wounded veterans were in wheelchairs at the Bastille Day parade.
Kelly, a retired Marine Corps General, couldn't believe what Trump had asked.
He told Trump that they were the heroes. There is only one group of people in our society who are more heroic than they are.
According to the book, Kelly's son was killed in action in Afghanistan and is one of the veterans buried at Arlington.
I don't like them. It doesn't look good for me.
According to a 2020 report from the Atlantic, Trump said that nobody wants to see that.
Kelly has been critical of the former president since they left the administration and he has left the White House.
Kelly told Jonathan Karl last year that if Trump were a real man, he would have gone to the Capitol on January 6 and told his supporters to stop the violence.
