Wow - Will Fisher, Purple Heart recipient schools Donald Trump!
WATCH: This Iraq War Veteran Schools Trump On What It Means To Earn A Purple Heart (VIDEO)
Yesterday at his Virginia rally, in an action of extremely poor taste, Donald Trump accepted the Purple Heart Medal from a retired veteran saying, “I always wanted the Purple Heart. This was much easier.”
Really Donald? You always wanted to be injured or killed while fighting in a war? No one EVER says that. And, Trump certainly wasn’t saying it as he avoided the draft for Vietnam not once, not twice, but five times: four for college and the last for heel spurs.
As you can imagine this latest “WTF moment brought to you by the letters D and T” has gone over with actual purple heart recipients and their families like a lead balloon.
Iraq war veteran, United States Marine, and Purple Heart recipient, Will Fischer had a powerful message for Donald Trump. In a video that he posted on the Union Veterans Council, AFL CIO Facebook page he told Trump:
"Purple Hearts equal bad days, Donald. And nobody, nobody with one, ever wanted it.”

Also, check MSNBC later for Tamron Hall's interview with Will Fisher. He is a wonderful advocate for military veterans and families.
