This tweet is for Dr. Ford. You put yourself through so much and I want you to know it wasn’t in vain. You started a movement and we’ll see it through. If they won’t listen to our voices, then they’ll listen to our vote.

✅ FACT: Troops have gotten a pay raise, every year, for over 30 years
✅ FACT: @BarackObama signed a 3.4% increase for 2010
❌ LIE: Donald Trump's claim that the recent 2.4% increase was troops' first raise in over 10 years
Why does Trump LIE to our troops, like this?
