what do Hillary Clinton or Maxine Waters have to do with talking to the VFW. I hope the Vets were disgusted with the idiot.

I would think the Vets would be all for the free press. I can't think of them the same way anymore.

VFW 'disappointed' that members booed journalists during Trump speech

President Donald Trump called out the media yet again during an event on Tuesday.

Speaking at the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention in Kansas City, Trump told the crowd assembled not to believe what they see in the news, including reporting from NBC News.

"Don't believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news," Trump said as he pointed to the back of the room. The comments drew some cheers.

The VFW, however, did not agree. In a tweet sent after the event, the national headquarters for the VFW offered support for the media.

It's getting much worse. His grip on reality with his teeny tiny-hands is not strong!

It's a social club in most towns for like minded old folks to gather and drink and talk about the old days. It is a dying organization. I would love to support it, but their political leanings and some shady business practices have soured my opinion of the organization. I'd much rather put my support behind VoteVets or IAVA...

Just my 2c as a modern Veteran of Foreign Wars...no offense to those VFW members who aren't conservative assholes...
