Any Republican Who Does Not Speak Out is Complicit – UPDATED

Reports that Trump blamed a soldier for his own death as his pregnant wife was on her way to pick up his remains almost tops his reaction to a gold star family at the Democratic National Convention.

His supporters don’t care. They, too, have no class, no empathy, and no boundaries to destructive behavior.

Take a moment this morning to imagine the Republican reaction had President Obama said this.

UPDATE: The Hill reports that Trump is mistaken about his claim that he’s the only president who calls all Gold Star families.

But The Associated Press found relatives of two soldiers who died overseas during Trump’s presidency who said they never received a call or a letter from him, as well as relatives of a third who did not get a call. And proof is plentiful that Barack Obama and George W. Bush — saddled with far more combat casualties than the roughly two dozen so far under Trump, took painstaking steps to write, call or meet bereaved military families.
