Buttigieg Slams Trump Over Reported Attacks on Wounded Veterans

Pete Buttigieg criticized Trump for reportedly seeking to bar wounded veteran Luis Avila from public appearances. Avila lost a leg and had brain damage from an IED in Afghanistan.
Buttigieg said Trump's alleged order was "just the latest in a pattern of outrageous attacks" on people who serve the country. Wounded veterans "deserve respect", he said.
Buttigieg said the idea that a president could "think that way or act that way or talk that way about anyone in uniform" was unacceptable.
The Atlantic previously reported Trump called military members buried in France "suckers" and "losers". Trump denied the report.
Trump has a history of criticizing service members, like calling John McCain a "loser" for being captured in Vietnam.
