I truly wish that had been the widow's position. Talk to no one, except maybe Trump. Definitely not anyone in the media, even someone considered "conservative". If it had been my spouse, I wouldn't have wanted to talk with anyone. Certainly not before the funeral.
That morning, they were eagerly anticipating attending the rally. They had to be in high spirits. Unless your spouse was murdered, at a Trump rally, you do not know how you would react. The liberals foaming at the mouth, they are cornered. They will lash out at anyone, including this family. You may think you’d react a certain way. No one has a crystal ball.
There used to be a street reporter in New York named Gabe Pressman. His specialty was going up to someone who had just lost a family member to violence or a tragic accident, or something of that ilk, sticking a mike in the person’s face, and asking questions like “How do you feel?” “Do you have anything to say to this other person?”
Everyone hated him. How did she know she wasn’t talking to that kind of reporter?
