MS NOW host Rachel Maddow took a hard shot at President Donald Trump in an aside mocking his excuse for not serving in Vietnam during a commentary about U.S. casualties of attacks by Iran.

Trump posted an announcement on Saturday that the United States was in the process of attacking Iran in a video message from Mar-a-Lago, and since then, at least six American servicemembers have been killed in the fighting. The strikes took out senior Iranian leaders, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

But on Monday night’s edition of MS NOW’s The Rachel Maddow Show, the host went back a little further to slam Trump as she led up to the firing of FBI agents attached to a special counter-terrorism unit.

Maddow referenced an incident in which Trump repeatedly downplayed the traumatic brain injuries suffered by servicemembers in a counterstrike — and connected it to Trump’s infamous Vietnam-era injury:

Less than a year later, January 2020, the United States used a drone strike to assassinate a very high profile general in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, Qassem Soleimani. You’ll remember that the Iranians, in response, you might recall, attacked two U.S. military bases, two U.S. bases in Iraq. Dozens of American service members were injured in that retaliatory attack.

You might remember the U.S. president at the time, Donald Trump, during his first term. You might remember him mocking and deriding the injuries of those American troops, saying U.S. troops who had traumatic brain injuries because of that Iranian retaliatory attack, they weren’t really injured because he didn’t think traumatic brain injury was real. He didn’t think it was serious, at least wasn’t anything serious. You know, like, you know, bone spurs or something.

At the time, U.S. forces killed Soleimani and there was that retaliatory attack. We didn’t exactly know if Iran was going to do anything further to retaliate for that very high-profile assassination — of a very high-profile figure in their government.

It soon became clear, though, what the Iranians plan was. It was that retaliatory attack on those U.S. bases. And Iran also decided that the way they would retaliate for the U.S. assassinating that high profile general from the Revolutionary Guard, what they were going to do in response was they were going to kill U.S. government officials. They were going to get their own high-profile assassinations of American public officials.
