Army Veteran Says Attacks by Trump Allies on 'Wounded Warrior,' Vindman are 'Disgusting'

Will Goodwin, a U.S. Army veteran and director of government relations for VoteVets, criticized President Donald Trump's comments regarding Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman in a statement released on Twitter. Goodwin called Trump's comments "disgusting" and "disgraceful." While some Trump supporters have spoken out against Vindman, calling him "disloyal," many have been quick to criticize Trump for his statements to discredit the Purple Heart recipient's testimony.

VoteVets.org was originally established to inform American citizens on issues in the Iraq war. They currently address a number of matters including unemployment, foreign policy, labor, immigration, LGBTQ, and environmental issues.

The statement from Goodwin reads, "It is disgusting that Donald Trump's allies have attacked a wounded warrior, like Lt. Col. Vindman, as having dual loyalties to Ukraine, simply because he is telling the truth to Congress about Trump's abuse of power."

Addressing the Colonel's testimony in the Trump impeachment inquiry, Goodwin denies that Vindman is motivated by anything besides the desire to serve his adoptive country. He writes, "It is similarly disgraceful that Trump is saying Lt. Col. Vindman is being political. Lt Col. Vindman is a Purple Heart Recipeint, who put is life on the line for America." Trump had tweeted that Vindman was a "Never Trumper."
