All he said was “I’d like to hear form the mother?” How is that demeaning?
By implication, he was suggesting the mother was stifled.
Does he know what it is like to lose a son in battle, in the uniform of an American soldier?
My mother knew. She could not bear to see a photo of my brother for at least a decade after he was killed in the Battle of Saipan. That hole in her heart never went away, until the day she died and went to join him on the Other Side.
And I am telling you, that gaffe on Trump’s part is irreparable to anyone who has had a family mamber who died in defense of this country.
I think miserare has an agenda.
Trump’s comments on their son’s service & their loss were very positive and gracious. Their son’s service and sacrifice doesn’t mean that they can’t be disagreed with or questioned about other issues when they place themselves in the public arena.
This is a trick to try and make the topic of vetting Muslim refugees toxic by equating it with dissing Gold Star moms. Trump made his respect very clear and then respectfully disagreed.
Trump’s comments on the Mom’s silence were appropriate since those are the customs that Kuhn’s clients will be bringing to the USA when he obtains VISAs for them. Kuhn lied to the American people about his past, his job, his publications and his connections with Hillary. Trump answering back mildly, focused the spotlight on Kuhn, and Kuhn tried to pull his Sharia articles off the we... too late. Again Trump has shone light into a dark corner. I salute him.
When you are too afraid of being rude to point out that the brave service of a Muslim serviceman does not mean that we should not protect our citizens from unvetted refugees from terrorist areas, your enemy rejoices.
