Retired Marine and New Hampshire State Rep. Al Baldasaro blasted the “liberal media” telling them to “get your heads out of your butt, focus on the real issues.”
During Donald Trump’s Tuesday press conference, as the presumptive Republican nominee introduced Baldasaro, the candidate went off on ABC reporter Tom Llamas, calling him a “sleaze.”
Trump said, “I could have asked all these groups to come here and I didn’t want to do that. I’m not looking for credit. But what I don’t want is when I raise millions of dollars, have people say, like this sleazy guy right over here from ABC, he’s a sleaze in my book. You’re a sleaze because you know the facts and you know the facts well.”
Then Baldasaro got to the podium he said, “For the record, I am a state representative from New Hampshire, ten years on the Veterans Affairs Committee, 22 years in the Marine Corps, retired First Sergeant. What I want to clarify here, first of all, I would never, ever in a million years put my name on a candidate who did not from his heart look me in the eye and tell me he is concerned about veterans. That is Donald Trump. I met him over a year ago.”
“I’ve been involved with many fundraisers, there are many scam artists out there,” the Republican state legislator claimed. Trump “did the right thing by vetting these groups there. If you look at some of these groups giving 20 cents, 40 cents on the dollar, spending the rest for their nice lavish trips. He gave 100 percent.”
“The liberal media is the only ones who have been calling me,” Baldasaro said. “I’ve been dealing with this stuff for years as a veterans’ activist.”
“Stop using veterans as political pawns. You got a guy outside, McCoy. Go do a Google search on his Facebook. He’s out there, [he] has pictures with the Clintons. They are using veterans as political pawns,” Baldasaro inisted. “It must stop.”
“Donald Trump is doing this from the heart. You’re all focused on the way he is raising money, and you’re not looking at the 22 veterans that are killing each other every day,” Baldasaro said, referring to the 22 veterans who commit suicide everyday.

“You’re not concerned about the thousands of veterans that are on waitlists. Look at his plan — on Trump’s website,” Baldasaro said. Trump “talks about medical cards, he talks about fixing the VA, he talks about competition.”
“I think the liberal media –and I’ve been dealing with you for a long time, you need to get your heads out of your butt, focus on the real issues.”
