Wesley Hunt said Donald Trump walked off the stage with dignity
"He knelt down and he wanted to put his shoes back on, stood back up, and then told the crowd to fight because he wanted to walk off that stage with dignity," he added. Hunt, a combat veteran of the War on Terror and graduate of West Point, claimed to have witnessed horrific things while in the military.
"But nothing compares to watching a man that I admire, and a man that is fighting for this country, and is fighting for our values, and is fighting for our way of life every single day become a political target. For what? For what?" he asked.
