MINNEAPOLIS – Sen. Amy Klobuchar is accusing Republican challenger Royce White of insulting veterans and the military.
During a U.S. Senate debate Sunday, she quoted White as saying, “the bad guys won in World War II,” and “there were no good guys in World War II.”
“Definitively, they were bad guys in my opinion,” White said. “Not only that, but we did incorporate Nazi scientists into our military and our academic institutions after World War II. So, those were bad guys as well. I didn’t say that there were no good guys. I said the bad guys won, and they did.”
“You tell that to Earl Meyer who served both in the Korean War and in World War II,” Klobuchar fired back. “He just got the Purple Heart. He has the shrapnel in his leg to show it. And I think when you look at the U.S. and step back, this is not the kind of rhetoric that we need.”
Also during the debate, Klobuchar called for a ceasefire in Gaza and a two-state solution in Palestine. White said the U.S. is on both sides of Israel’s war in the Middle East and the War in Ukraine.
