President Trump on Thursday reacted to the news that a Utah man was killed in Wednesday's terrorist attack outside Parliament, saying: "A great American, Kurt Cochran, was killed in the London terror attack."

"My prayers and condolences are with his family and friends," Trump tweeted.

He was an American killed overseas by a terrorist. He was a great American. What is wrong with you?

Channeling Hannity?

He and his wife were over in England celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary.

Yes indeed. Our only hope of winning Democrats over to our side at this point is when they finally get sick of being blown-up by Muslims.

I know this will send some here into hysterics, but there are some great Americans who are democrats. Show a little class. This isn’t the democraticunderground.

I sincerely hope that after Trump sent that tweet, he called Mattis and told him the rollout of the ISIS destruction plan needs to rollout faster/

You should ask the mods to remove your post.

When all of the REALLY crazy subversives are either dead or hauled-off to prison, we’re going to have to reunite this country, and that means embracing a lot of Democrats.

Wow! Wish I hadn’t opened this thread. The comments didn’t go the way I expected. It got ugly real quick.

[ColdOne]

Yes it did.

[HarleyLady27]

Sounds like your a democrat...only a true blooded democrat would say something like what you just said at a time like this...

You should be zotted...

I'm not casting aspersions on the poor victim but your statement becomes less and less truthful with each passing day.

[BykrBayb]

Some threads you kind of expect to turn ugly. This one took me by surprise. Just goes to show, no matter how old you get, there are still some surprises in store! 😜

It’s one thing to make jokes about David Brock - but an American man on his 25th anniversary trip to Europe?? Squashed like a bug while looking at Big Ben?! I don’t get it, either.

I've dealt with more death than I care to. It's hard to see anything humorous in it. I confess, there are times when I do, but it's a rare exception. A terrorist detonating his bomb early, and killing no one but himself will usually do it for me. But an innocent victim of terrorism?

I think I'll go look at some puppy pictures instead. 🐶

Yes, many many GOOD Democrats...it is the Liberal wing of the party that is fouled...

Just like ‘us’ Conservatives kind of ‘blanch’ when we get lumped in with the Rino Republicans.

My Grandfather was a GREAT American who happened to be a Democrat as were the majority of my family members.

But I do not believe any of them would be in lockstep with todays ‘D’ party..

I was the ‘first’ (to my knowledge) member of the family that wasn’t a D and sort of abandoned my Catholic upbringing and one of the ‘few NY born Catholics’ that did NOT support JFK for President.

I think (in the eyes of D’s & Catholics)that was a worse Mortal Sin than my marrying out of church, subsequently divorcing etc etc etc

Facebook is great for animal videos. I must admit they cheer me up too!

I remember the day my grandfather quit being a Democrat.
(he was a fairly influential figure in the local party as well)

I walked into his kitchen on a weekday afternoon, and saw five empty Rolling Rock beer bottles in front of him. His face was ashen and he had a look somewhere between astonished befuddlement and disgust on his face.

I asked him what was wrong. He told me that Jimmy Carter had managed to foul-up the country so badly he had just concluded he had no choice but to vote for Reagan.
