Bllllllllleeeeeecccccchhhhhh. Didn't realize he had chosen so poorly, on which candidate to support.
No apology at all. Just move on. If someone asks his answer should be “I think the family has their rage aimed at the wrong person. I didn’t vote for the war that their son died in. I haven’t called for the removal of any muslim Americans. I have only called for a ban on immigration from areas where civil war and unrest has been prevalent. I respect them and their sacrifices, but I will not allow the media to take swings at me, then run back and hide behind this poor families and their tragedy and say what a bad man I am.”
We can be grateful for DM's service while being repelled by his naivete.
And sadly, some folks will never learn . . .
