Not at all. I condemn any politician who exploits the grieving families for political opportunism.
Maybe these families wanted a press conference in order to talk about their grief and hopefully get people to do something about it, like shut down illegal immigration.
I understand that you consider it exploitation, but maybe these families wanted to be “exploited.” Everyone handles grief differently. Isn’t it presumptuous on your part to speak for these families?
It may be distasteful and exploitative to you, but letting victims speak is a politically powerful technique. It makes the illegal immigration political battle personal.
Did you not watch the video?
The families of the victims were all thanking Trump for giving them a voice. They called him a hero. They said no one else listened, they did nothing and the politicians didn't want to hear it. They were ignored.
Democrats have no problem pulling out the family of st. skittles or the gentle giant to score points. For me, it’s about time we (conservatives, not republicans), take a page out of the liberals playbook and use it against them.
It’s called playing by the same rules. Playing by different rules has gotten us nowhere and I’m sick of it.
So there.
