Former New York City Police Department commissioner Bernard Kerik tells Newsmax that the comments by liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore's about snipers are "stupid" and "ludicrous."
"It's disappointing that this guy and others have the audacity to criticize the men and women in our military," Kerik told J.D. Hayworth on "America's Forum" on
Newsmax TV Tuesday.
"As for Moore . . . he's a fat turd," he said.

Moore recently came under fire after he made a
comment on Twitter that "snipers aren't heroes," saying that he had an "uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards."
The comment was in reference to the blockbuster hit "American Sniper" starring Bradley Cooper about the life of the late Navy SEAL and special forces sharpshooter Chris Kyle, who is considered the deadliest sniper in American history.
"[Moore] wouldn't have the courage to walk in the shoes of Chris Kyle or any veteran in this country," Kerik contends.
"It's unfortunate, but there are people out there like that, and they they show their true colors when they come out and make stupid, ludicrous statements like Moore made," he added.
