‘Wow!’ And so it begins: WH smears vets, claims ‘swift boating’ of Bergdahl

Was getting ready for work this morning when I heard @chucktodd use the term "swift boat" in regards to White House reaction. #JawDropped

Wait, what?

It would be one thing if fellow soldiers who served with Bergdahl had conflicting stories. They don't. So now they must be discredited.

Bingo. And so it begins:

#FF –> @StrokesofCandor who gave me the heads-up on Chuck Todd's "swift boat" report.

Did the White House really say that?

Hi @chucktodd, did the White House literally use the term "swift boat" to describe Bergdahl's platoon's reaction? Please confirm.

— Cuffy (@CuffyMeh) June 4, 2014

It can’t be true, can it? Well, according to Chuck Todd it is.

@CuffyMeh I didn't make it up

— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) June 4, 2014

Unreal. Putting the lives of our brave troops at risk by releasing five Taliban leaders wasn’t enough, apparently. Now the White House has to smear those who put their lives on the line for this country.

@chucktodd @CuffyMeh Did you ask them if it was a good idea to smear vets who served honorably with #BoweBergdahl ?

Despicable White House. You have sunk to a new low.

Dear @WhiteHouse : "Swift Boat" veterans told uncomfortable truth just like #Bergdahl platoon soldiers are.

But, hey. Smear. Smear like the wind. It’s the Chicago way.
