PITTSBURGH — President Joe Biden choked up Wednesday talking about the military service of his family members and former President Donald Trump's disparaging remarks about service members. “They asked to go visit American gravesites. He said, 'No.' He wouldn’t do it. Because they were all 'suckers' and 'losers,'” Biden told a crowd of union workers. “I’m not making that up. The staff who were with him acknowledge it today. Suckers and losers.
” Former White House chief of staff John Kelly confirmed last year that Trump privately made the remarks, which The Atlantic first reported. Biden has often cited Trump's 2018 remarks, but Wednesday was the first time he had tied them directly to his son and his uncle. On Tuesday, Biden called Trump's remarks “offensive” during a campaign rally in his childhood hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, displaying a sense of anger at Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
