Trump Calls Bergdahl ‘Dirty, Rotten Traitor’

At a town hall in New Hampshire on Wednesday , Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, a Blaine County man who spent five years as a prisoner in Afghanistan and is being charged with desertion, a “dirty, rotten traitor,” and appeared to pantomime his execution. “Take Sgt. Bergdahl, does anybody remember that name?” Trump said, as the audience booed. He continued: “This is the way we think. So we get a traitor named Bergdahl. A dirty, rotten traitor …” Trump then paused, as the audience clapped. He went on: “Who, by the way, when he deserted, six young, beautiful people were killed trying to find him, right? And you don’t even hear about him anymore. Somebody said the other day, ‘Well, he had some psychological problems.’ Well, you know in the old days, ‘Bing, bong,’” Trump said, pretending to hold a rifle and squeeze the trigger as he did/ Nathan Brown , On the Agenda blog, Twin Falls Times-News.
