Trump: Would Obama have gone to Scalia funeral if it was at a mosque?

In his typical fashion, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump did not stay quiet about President Barack Obama's decision to skip Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's funeral Saturday.

"I wonder if President Obama would have attended the funeral of Justice Scalia if it were held in a Mosque," Trump tweeted as the funeral was taking place. "Very sad that he did not go!"

Trump scores another one. I hope this gets plenty of ink in South Carolina.

[Fai Mao]

Bwahahaha.

Trump just nailed Obama’s ears to the wall

[PGalt]

WOOOHOOOO! Turn your guns on all enemies, foreign and domestic. A twofer.

HOORAY Trump

[Mouton]

Perhaps if it were held on a golf course?

[corlorde]

Hey, I’m a Cruz guy and I’m glad Trump asked this...completely warranted!

[Mr Apple]

Ya did good Mr Trump, Ya did good! You Betcha!

I'm sure the Scalia family appreciate Trump's trying to score cheap points over the death of their loved one.

Awesome! Reflected my thoughts exactly, although as an RC, I am glad that evil POS did not cross the threshold of a Catholic Church.

that’s a pretty good one....

Lighten up Francis!!

[Seaplaner]

Perhaps, out of respect for Justice Scalia’s memory and out of respect for the family, such crassly undignified statements should be left unsaid.

[DoodleDawg]

Lighten up Francis!!

It's very much like Trump to claim that he respected Justice Scalia while jumping into the conspiracy theories over his death and using his funeral as a punchline.

The Christian church acts on Obama in much the same way sunlight acts on a vampire.

or a bath house

"It's very much like Trump to claim that he respected Justice Scalia while jumping into the conspiracy theories over his death and using his funeral as a punchline."

This is the very much a similar argument liberals would make. I'm just sayin'.

[Lumper20]

So true. Obama and pals have done so many illegal acts that there is no doubt in my mind they fear Trump the most. They cannot buy him, and once he is in they are running. Look at how long they have stalled everything from Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS after conservative PACS, and on and on.

You pegged it, nail on the head and all that.

Sorry, but I disagree with your characterization.

Yes, Trump was making a point.

But it is a question asked for good reason and meant to hit a target and that is exactly what it did.

It's not as if Scalia was the local Justice of The Peace instead of one of the top jurists in the nation.

And it is not as if Obama was just the village clerk instead of the President of the United States.

Obama has made his priorities clear.

He clearly displays his love of, and preoccupation with, Islam when he lectures us about Islam and praises Islam at every opportunity.

Obama doesn't do anything without thinking about the message his actions send.

He stayed away from Scalia's funeral to show his disrespect for Scalia and the traditional values Scalia lived by, observed and protected and to once again, thumb his nose at America.
