VoteVets.org

Paul's done a great job of, of promoting the interests of veterans.

I mean, you know, he's, I think his organization's called votevets.org, and, you know, and I get that, and he's, you know, welcome to, to promote the interests of veterans all day long.

I, I honor that, in fact.

But, uh, increasingly, he's been a guest on a couple of MS NBC shows that regularly have him on, where he attacks, uh, progressive Democrats and promotes the idea of, you know, moderate Democrats and supporting Netanyahu and stuff like that, and it just disgusts me.

Mary McCord is a former Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ's National Security Division.

Rosina Ali is a journalist and author of Seasons of Fury, and former New York Democratic Congressman Max Rose is an Afghanistan war veteran and senior advisor to VoteVets.

Thank you all so much for being with us today.

Yeah, Jeanne Shaheen, the mother of Stephanie Shaheen, got involved in this race behind the scenes and tried to get people on her side.

Uh, Home of the Brave, which I'm a little bit involved with, uh, joined with VoteVets and some others to put up this video this, uh, morning actually, uh, with, with people including a Gold Star mother whose son is buried at Arlington, and General Paul Eaton, whose father, I hadn't realized this, uh, had, had been killed in Vietnam and is buried at Arlington, about how offended they are by it all.

I, I think that could become a big issue.

I d- I feel like the White House, the ballroom already is a pretty big issue.

She is backing her daughter very actively in a campaign.

VoteVets has spent $2.6 million for Sullivan.

Sullivan is a Marine veteran and, again, running against Stephanie Shaheen for a New Hampshire House seat.

This is a...

Retired Army Major General Paul Eaton commanded the effort to train Iraqi forces during the Iraq War.

He now advises VoteVets, a progressive veteran's organization supporting the lawsuit, and he joins us now.

Thanks for being with us.

Geoff, thank you very much for having me.
