ABC Clinton lackey George Stephanopoulos stepped up the liberal media’s condemnation of President Trump during Sunday’s This Week by heinously exploiting the heroic death of a U.S. soldier to take a snide shot at the President for his recent immigration comments.
As he was wrapping up the show, Stephanopoulos drew attention to the death of Private Emmanuel Mensah. Private Mensah was an immigrant from Ghana who sacrificed himself to save several others from a fire that was consuming the apartment building he was staying at with family while he was on leave.
Stephanopoulos Exploits Death of US Soldier to Take a Shot a Trump
“Finally this week, in that now infamous oval office meeting with President Trump, Senator Lindsey Graham countered Trump's slur with a simple truth: America is an idea, not a race. A truth exemplified by Martin Luther King,” Stephanopoulos sneered. “And quiet heroes like a young soldier home on leave two weeks ago.”
After detailing Mensah’s heroic actions that day, Stephanopoulos noted that “he was drawn by the idea of America, driven to protect it. And he died saving the lives of his fellow Americans.” And he used that memory to take his underhanded shot. “Private Emmanuel Mensah: African immigrant, American hero. We honor his memory this week. May the commander-in-chief he served remember his story,” he declared.
As Stephanopoulos stared into the camera with utter contempt for the President, the image faded to a shot of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington, DC as birds chirped in the background.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Finally this week, in that now infamous oval office meeting with President Trump, Senator Lindsey Graham countered Trump's slur with a simple truth: America is an idea, not a race. A truth exemplified by Martin Luther King, who we honor this weekend. And quiet heroes like a young soldier home on leave two weeks ago. When a fire broke out in the New York apartment building where he was staying among a family with four young children. He got that family to safety. Then rushed back to the flames three more times. Saving four more lives. When he went to bring a fifth person out, said his uncle, the fire caught up with him. That soldier's name is Emmanuel Mensah. He came to the United States five years ago from the west African nation of Ghana. He was drawn by the idea of America, driven to protect it. And he died saving the lives of his fellow Americans. This week, the Army honored with a Soldiers Medal, its highest award for valor outside of combat. Private Emmanuel Mensah: African immigrant, American hero. We honor his memory this week. May the commander-in-chief he served remember his story.
Aka George Steponallofus.
Although I don’t know if his wife said that or not, he is one and the same though
Many people from countries that don’t share a border with us are here illegally. Jumping the Mexican border is just one way to get here illegally.
The Leftists defend each other. Look how long they have circled the wagons for the Clintons.
Our side folds at the hint of trouble.
Graham is the latest in a long line of people who go south on us more easily than defending us, and of course he’s done this over and over.
Who defends Trump? Almost none of our public figures defend him in pubic. We may get a couple of stragglers once in a while, but that’s about it in the public arena.
It’s why I am so dang critical of some folks that others think are the best Conservatives around. If so, why don’t they come to our president’s defense?
They constantly make obtuse statements to make themselves look good, and in so doing actually frame the debate as if Trump did what he didn’t do.
It is revolting. We have no team!
McConnell and Ryan might just as well be in their home state with their feet up for all but two weeks of each session, for the little they accomplish. Our Senators and Congressmen don’t seem to care. It’s amazing what Trump did get done, considering.
These people do not respect good solid leadership. They have no clue what we could be getting done right now. They are the biggest obstacles to turning this nation around. We have the majority of the House and Senate. They’re snoozing...
They don’t deserve to be on our team, and yes I recognize they aren’t on it. Still, they take up Republican slots, and claim to be. Liars...
oh yeah and those from the continent of Africa swim across the Atlantic to Mexico and than sneak into the US.
Don’t ever forget George Stephanopoulos took the leg end of the rolled up carpet getting ol Vince out of the white house and to Fort Marcy Park
Slowly getting to them to learn the routes.
Why are you conflating a shared border with illegal immigration? Ever heard of a visa overstay? Swimming to Mexico isn’t the only option to get from Africa to the Western Hemisphere.
Thanks for posting - this showed up as comment on my Facebook page and was wondering what the midget had said. Using a soldier’s bravery to make a political statement is pretty low, IMO, especially when you don’t have the first understanding of the context of what Trump said/didn’t say.
In fact, Trump never called ANY nation a "shithole." Go ahead and prove he did.
It is low, but you have to expect that from liberals, especially the ones like Steponallofus

Jay Galt explained to you in post# 18 that he was a legal immigrant. Do I have to explain to you what that means?
George Streptococcus,
I like it..
Right! My BIL came legally from Turkey. He started a plant that makes diamond tooling for the aerospace industry. I’m proud of him! He loves being an American citizen.
