A group of U.S. veterans has released a new video slamming President Donald Trump as a “traitor” and “enemy” over an explosive report that he knew the Russian military paid bounties to Afghan militants for killing American soldiers and did nothing in response.
The New York Times first reported on Friday that Trump was briefed on the situation in March, but took no action against Russia. To the contrary, Trump said he would like to invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to the next G-7 meeting in September.
Trump responded with a frantic tweet, claiming that he was not briefed about the alleged bounties, and calling the Times “fake news.” he also claimed “nobody’s been tougher on Russia” than his administration.
VoteVets fired back by ripping into him.
“Putin owns Donald Trump,” the organization wrote on Twitter, along with the #TRE45SON hashtag that went viral over the weekend. The group also released a new video. Watch it below.
