Okay, all true, Brutha, but it IS possible to get carried away with the weight of Trump's words here. Trump was triggered. Dingell had dissed him in his book. Trump's trolling needs to be kept in perspective--as not very important noise by an asshole sitting at the end of the bar after having one too many.Rep. Fred Upton, a Michigan Republican, tweeted that he "always looked up to John Dingell - my good friend and a great Michigan legend. There was no need to 'dis' him in a crass political way. Most unfortunate and an apology is due."
Paul Rieckhoff, who served with the U.S. Army in Iraq and Afghanistan and who is now a prominent activist for veterans, also attacked Trump
"Congressman John Dingell served in the Army in WW2 and went to college under the GI Bill," Rieckhoff tweeted. "And he's just the latest veteran to be disgustingly disrespected by Trump—a man who knows nothing of honor, respect or service."
Michigan State Senator Curtis Hertel, a Democrat, called the president's comments "below human decency."
"I don't know what's more sad; a President who attacks a deceased Congressman and his widow in their home state two weeks before Christmas or my friends on the other side of the aisle who will refuse to condemn it," Hertel tweeted.
"This is not just below the presidency, it's below basic human decency. The irony of this indecency is that John was one of the most decent people I ever knew.
"To be clear. John Dingell was a Veteran and a Statesman while President Trump is a Coward and blowhard. If you can't tell what side you're supposed to be on you're a d--- fool."
Trump Humpers will come out and defend this disgusting behavior.
Yes, it shows Trump's lack of respect for many things, but it's not like that's a revelation to anyone.
It was a classless thing to say, there was nothing but vindictive behavior involved and it doesn't help anyone in any way, shape or manner.
You may be a little confused here, Sport.
The classless thing was that Debbie Dingbat voted to impeach Trump so she deserves ridicule.
She needs to put on her big girl panties and take responsibly for being a TDS afflicted asshole.
