On Wednesday morning, Nugent appeared on a “FOX & Friends” to discuss a potential run for Senate.
“There’s no limit to what I’d be willing to do to help make this country great,” he said.
Fox News tweeted a link to Nugent’s interview along with the quote.

That’s when MSNBC’s Joy Reid, who loves to dabble in online savagery, reminded Nugent that he was ALSO popular for allegedly crapping his pants to avoid the Vietnam draft:

People were in awe of the swipe:
Damn, @TedNugent, this is a scorcher. You okay over there? Remember to run cool water over the burn area.

Others argued about Nugent’s service in the thread:
Had he been a patriot, he would've filed for conscientious objector status & taken the consequences. He's a coward & bragged about it.
