Two veterans who confronted former Vice President Joe Biden about his voting record on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars believe the Democrat should be disqualified from the race.
Air Force veteran Michael Thurman and another Army veteran told Biden he "enabled" the Iraq War, which began in March 2003, during a confrontation at the Buttercup Diner in Oakland on Super Tuesday.
"We are just wondering why we should vote for someone who voted for a war and enabled a war that killed thousands of our brothers and sisters and countless Iraqi civilians," said Thurman, a conscientious objector. "You enabled that war. And you also gave a medal to the man who enabled that war and caused that war. Their blood is on your hands, as well. You are disqualified, sir. You are disqualified."
Biden shot back at Thurman, saying his son Beau Biden was dead too before turning his back on the men and walking away as they continued to admonish the former senator for his voting record.
