RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
You. I want to ask you a question about how you‘ve described your service and the national guard. You said that you carried weapons in war, but you have never deployed actually in a war zone, a campaign official said that you misspoke, did do well, first of all, I‘m incredibly proud to have done 24 years of wearing uniform of this country. Equally proud of my service in a public school classroom whether it‘s Congress or the governor my record speaks for itself, but I think people are coming to get to know me. I speak like they do I speak candidly. I wear my emotions on my sleeves and I, speak especially passionately about about our children being shot in schools and around, around guns. So I think people know me, they know who I am, they know where where my heart is. And again, my record has been out there for over 40 years to be for itself the idea that you said that you were in war. Did you misspeak as the campaign has said, I said we were talking about in this case, this was after a school shooting, the ideas of carrying these weapons of war and my wife, the English teacher, told him, I grammar is not always correct. But again, if it‘s not this, it‘s an attack on my children for showing love for me or it‘s an attack on my dog. I‘m not I‘m going to do that. And the one thing I‘ll never do is I‘ll never demean and other members service in any way. I never have. And I never will.
