And so do you.
They are political attacks by Schumer, et al.
That's what happens in democracies.
I criticized Bush for sending GI's into Iraq.
Lots of people called me unpatriotic.
That's OK, but it's another thing to imply that I wanted innocent civilians and US GI's to die so that I could be proven right.

I'll leave up to someone else to give that a name, but it's not political discourse.
