After facing backlash for an earlier tweet, Donald Trump reacted by writing, “My condolences to Dwyane Wade and his family, on the loss of Nykea Aldridge. They are in my thoughts and prayers.”

Don Cheadle blasted Donald Trump on Saturday after the presidential candidate politicized the death of Nykea Aldridge, the cousin of NBA playing Dwyane Wade.

Don Cheadle played Buckwheat in the new movie Little Rascals. They should be paying Trump so their name can come up. Trump was more sincere about the death of this mother in Chicago than Hillary and the 4 she is responsible for letting get murdered.

50 + people are shot every weekend in Chicongo.

This one happened to have a famous relative.

[BlueStateRightist]

This just in: The media/celebrity super-PAC now take issue with Trump brushing his teeth.

[BlueNgold]

Psst.
Hillary had that mother of Michel Brown on stage of the freaking DNC.

I guess some politicization is more ok than others...

[cp124]

Why? Because he wants to talk about the problem so maybe it can be fixed? Instead it is the guns, racism, cops, etc.

[equaviator]

Trump didn’t politicize it because he is not a politician but it is fair game for him because he’s running for POTUS.

buffoon supreme... feh

[laconic]

Sadly, the ONLY publicity the death of this poor soul would have gotten was due to two facts: 1) she was related to some pro athlete; and 2) Trump commented. Other than that, she would have just fallen into the chasm of not existing, may never have existed just like the other 500+ murder victims in Chicago, UNLESS they were among the one or two killed by the Chicago Police. Odd that those who are hysterical over Trump’s fairly innocuous comments would otherwise have ignored this had she not been related to the NBA player.

These hypocrites politicize EVERY gun death!

How DARE them spout such an accusation!

[littleharbour]

Only blacks and liberals can politicize black deaths. Didn’t you read the Race Baiters’ Handbook?

[originalbuckeye]

Maybe Cheadle should put his energy into doing something to stop all the senseless murders in Chicago? Nah, that’s a city completely controlled by Democrats so, no biggy, I guess.

[grania]

I can only assume that these brain-zapped idiots don’t want to solve the problem. Donald Trump is a problem solver. The first step toward solving a problem is identifying it.

[PghBaldy]

I looked at Cheeto’s Wikipedia page... A rabid leftist. A shame, since he is not a bad actor.

[Toespi]

Dwyane Wade, immediately politicized the death of his own cousin:

“My cousin was killed today in Chicago. Another act of senseless gun violence. 4 kids lost their mom for NO REASON. Unreal. #EnoughIsEnough”

[Texas Eagle]

How many takes did it take for Cheadle to get it right?

[bray]

Love the feigned outrage. If she was killed by a White Cop then riots would be ok, but a tweet is outrageous. Got it.

Pray America wakes

[NotchJohnson]

Very good point. That was easy

[Mears]

Trump should NOT have commented on this death because it diminishes the deaths of all of the others who are not mentioned by name.

[IronJack]

Don Cheadle. Obscure b-lister. Tony Stark should just choke the sh_t out of him while he has the chance.

“They can’t do that to our pledges.”
“Only we can do that to our pledges.”
