Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance (R) defended presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump after he reportedly referred to veterans as "suckers" and "losers."

During an interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo asked Vance why he was upset with President Joe Biden for releasing a campaign ad against Trump during the D-Day commemorations.

"Joe Biden is trying to cover himself in glory of the greatest generation, despite trying to destroy everything that they fought for," Vance said. "So he's made up these ridiculous accusations that Donald Trump doesn't respect veterans, doesn't respect the greatest generation."

"I was with Donald Trump on D-Day in both public and private," he continued. "He talked constantly about how much he admired those who served, especially in that generation, but all generations."

"And here's the crazy thing, Maria, ask the greatest generation what they feel about wide open borders. Ask the greatest generation what they feel about sex changes for minors."

In 2020, sources told The Atlantic that Trump had repeatedly disparaged military service members as "losers" and "suckers."
