Tim Sheehy, the Navy SEAL running to unseat Democratic Montana Sen. Jon Tester, has repeatedly told voters he was “discharged” from the military for medical reasons, owing to wounds sustained in service.

“This line of inquiry is disgusting,” Sheehy’s campaign said in a statement, claiming there was no inconsistency.
