Media playing along as liberals weaponize Gold Star families in fight against GOP
Fox News ^ | 10/18/17 | Brian Flood

As many Democrats weaponize Gold Star families against the GOP, mainstream media outlets now seem to be approaching the families of dead soldiers one by one in an attempt to find the next controversy surrounding President Trump.  

Earlier this week, Trump said former President Obama and past presidents didn’t always call the families of soldiers who died while serving the country during a Rose Garden press conference.

“The traditional way, if you look at President Obama and other presidents, most of them didn’t make calls, a lot of them didn’t make calls,” Trump said. “I like to call when it’s appropriate.”

Democrat leaders have long been the closest living thing to ghouls...in the way they always look to pick every morsel of political value off the bones of personal tragedy.

All of this is headed in one direction—one which will end with conflict and bloodshed. No way will this subside without things getting much worse.

“Media playing along as liberals weaponize Gold Star families in fight against GOP”

well, sure, why not? “Muh, Russia” failed, “Impeach Now!” went nowhere, “25th Amendment” is a joke, leftist losing on NFL, leftist losing on “media credibility”, and Hurricane Harvey pretty much nuked the “GOP and Trump War on Women” meme, so time to try some new fake shite!

Kelly needs to do Press Conference tomorrow.

Defend Trump - As a Gold Star parent I can assure you the Presiden said nothing disrespectful
Attack Democrats as Ghoulish
Scold and shame Media for hunting down Gold Star families to be used in political attack

He should be surrounded by active military when doing this

The idiot doesn’t even know how to pronounce the woman’s name yet she calls President Trump names???? And by the way, there is NOTHING wrong with what President Trump said(And I believe he said much more no way was it one sentence and bam conversation over) ALL members of our beloved military, when they sign up, know the danger, they all know there is a chance they won’t be coming home, but they do it anyway, for US, they make the ultimate sacrifice for US..so of course this brave man knew the danger, he knew what he was signing up for, but he signed up anyway because he is a HERO..so what exactly is wrong with what President Trump said Im not getting the outrage here

The simple solution to this is to never make calls to the parents of black military heroes.

DC is single-party consent regarding wiretapping. Record all such calls. If this one was recorded, release the recording and then take NO further questions.

Here’s the game being played here.

Trumps conversations are recorded, he said he can prove what he said. If he releases the recording it opens the door for the democrats and the SP to demand he release all recordings of whatever they want.

It is a shame this is politicized, yet the DNC screams about Houston, Puerto Rico, and now this, even while apathy from Trump does not exist.

They cannot wait to attack him, even if they have to lie.
Like they did in Benghazi.

Problem is it won't work. Most of the military families trend Republican and they are all over these lies.

The were dying to elect someone who would actually support our military.

Remember good old Barry Sorento Obama and his coffee cup holding Marine 1 salutes and Marine holding his damn umbrella ?

The last 8 years have been zero respect for the military. No longer ! MAGA !

The Left have a habit of picking the absolute WORST people to hold up as an example.
God bless the young man who gave his life for his countrymen but it does NOT mean his family is honorable as well.
