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.
In the aftermath of the most recent death in San Francisco, the media has been interviewing the families.
As I have stated before, a private meeting with Trump was commendable. Scheduling a media press conference is pure political exploitation.
