Democrats are stopping at nothing to demonize President Donald Trump — including taking advantage of a badly wounded veteran.
Over the weekend, a liberal organization used pictures of a severely burned Iraq war veteran to attack Trump… without his permission.
Anti-Trump “resistance” group Occupy Democrats tried to capitalize on a recent controversial story about the president’s alleged past remarks on veterans by posting a photo of “4-tour” veteran Bobby Henline without the war hero’s permission.
Before long, Henline became aware of his photo being used to manipulate voters, and his reaction was swift and fierce.
He took to social media to deliver a message directly to Occupy Democrats.
“I want what’s best for this country no matter what political party you believe in,” Henline began.
“But what I can tell you is, these idiots used my photo without my permission. They took advantage of a wounded veteran. That’s what they did.”
“They’re out there posting this stuff all over Facebook, using my image. Like I agree with them.”
“I’m done.”

“I don’t play around with the he said, she said b*******,” he continued. “You’re lowlife. You’re scum. I can tell you that much.”
“Take it down.”
Occupy Democrats eventually deleted the social media post and apologized.
“We deleted the meme in question and its social media post yesterday in response to this video,” the group wrote on Twitter.
