“Every time you turn around
is getting his picture taken with another veterans’ group,” Sullivan said. “Well if he, like many Republicans, wants to question the patriotism of Democrats then it’s a discussion we’ll finish behind the building.”
“If he wants to question my patriotism then I will gladly bring up how he was trolling around Europe avoiding the draft during Vietnam and that I am the only person in this race that has worn the uniform. I am not going to have some trust fund kid question me on my patriotism. If he wants to hit me I am going to hit him back harder than he did,” Sullivan said.
