Is there ANY chance this will backfire? Probably not.

Steve Bannon slams Romney for avoiding Vietnam draft, escalates intra-party war

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon ripped into one-time presidential candidate Mitt Romney for his lack of military service during the Vietnam War in response to Romney's denunciation of Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore.

"By the way, Mitt, while we're on the subject of Vietnam and honor and integrity, you avoided service, brother," Bannon told a crowd during a Moore rally in Alabama on Tuesday. "You hid behind your religion. You went to France to be a missionary while guys were dying in rice paddies in Vietnam."

The attack follows a tweet by Romney lambasting Moore's candidacy, writing that "No vote, no majority is worth losing our honor, our integrity."

3. Besides the whole Trump thing, it is really funny that Bannon is criticizing someone

for following their sincerely-held religious beliefs...

[anneboleyn]

18. In contrast to Bannon, I think Romney held sincere beliefs. Bannon hides behind others like Trump

his trained monkey, and Bannon is too much of a coward to face direct public scrutiny. He hides and rants and raves from the shadows while sending his minions out to espouse his insane ideas.

4. Maybe Corporal Self Awareness here should ask his boss Capt. Bone Spurs about this. nt

6. LOL n/t

[Laf.La.Dem.]

"you avoided service brother"

9. I hope that POS Hatch retires.

If we can’t have a Dem in that UT senate seat, I want Romney in it.

[MoonRiver]

12. He would definitely be an improvement.

Which is why Chumpy will fight tooth and nail to keep it from happening.

10. #NoMoore was quite disliked in his brief time in Vietnam

Moore served in several posts as a military police officer, including Fort Benning, Georgia, and Illesheim, Germany before being deployed to the Republic of Vietnam. Serving as the commander of 188th Military Police Company of the 504th Military Police Battalion,[24] Moore was perceived to be reckless, but very strict. He insisted his troops salute him on the battlefield, against his training, as such recognition facilitates an officer being targeted by an enemy.[25] Some of his soldiers gave him the derogatory nickname "Captain America", due to his attitude toward discipline. This role earned him enemies, and in his autobiography he recalls sleeping on sandbags to avoid a grenade or bomb being tossed under his cot, as many of his men had threatened him with fragging.[23]

17. LMAO...like Niedermayer in "Animal House"!

[dalton99a]

19. +1

[ecstatic]

14. Not sure how deplorables' minds work, but the very FIRST thing I thought of upon hearing

that statement was Trump's multiples deferments.

[Achilleaze]

15. the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief's republican bulldog Bannon is...

calling attention to the shameful dereliction of duty & cowardice of republicans, and their republican propensity to piss on America's veterans, POWs, and Gold Star families. Deplorable.

[anneboleyn]

16. From the jackass whose trained monkey criticized JohnMcCains experiences as a p.o.w.

[sarge43]

21. At least Romney never bragged about avoiding STDs was his Vietnam War.

Jaybus, Repugs give hypocrisy a bad name.

[Johonny]

23. Bannon is a horrible human being. He is advocating policies that will end the USA

and he's going to run for president...

[Luciferous]

24. What about President Bone Spurs?! Ugh, the hypocrisy. And those dumbass Trump

supporters probably sat there cheering.

[Gothmog]

25. Trump is a draft dodger

[The_Casual_Observer]

26. Bannon is a slob and and asshole.

[BoneyardDem]

27. And how does this not apply to Trump and his spawn? n/t
