Combat veteran asks Democrats to support Trump

A veteran and Congressional Candidate vying for a seat in the swing state of Pennsylvania made the case to support the Republican ticket of US President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

US Army Combat Veteran Sean Parnell started with a war story from Afghanistan in 2006 when as a platoon leader he fought the Taliban with 24 diverse American soldiers.

When Parnell arrived home after 485 days of combat overseas, he believed the Democratic party which his grandfather used to support started attacking the freedoms he fought to uphold.

"I watched as Joe Biden spit venom at an auto worker who dared to question Joe's intent to dismantle the Second Amendment and take your guns," Parnell said.

"Were Democrats once stood for hard working, law abiding Americans who displayed our flag with pride. This New Democrat Party considers these people uneducated racists, clinging to guns and Bibles. The party of Harry Truman became the party of hedge fund managers, Hollywood celebrities, tech moguls and university professors, all bloated with contempt for Middle America."

During his speech at the Republican National Convention, Parnell also made a plea to undecided liberal voters to support the current president of the United States.

"I believe in our president's vision for the future," Parnell said.

"I stand here tonight calling on all Americans to join us. It doesn't matter what you look like, who you love, how you worship your gender or your job. If you're a traditional Democrat who's become disillusioned with how radical your party has become, then stand with us. You are most welcome. America needs all her patriots to rush to her defense."
