Imagine being president of the United States.
Rarely does a decision pass his or her desk at any point during the day that doesn’t have direct consequences on someone’s life, whether that person has a job, or whether that person’s paycheck has an extra figure in it than it had before. Then there are the decisions that impact healthcare and who can pay to go to the doctor and perhaps get cancer diagnosed before its spread to every organ and the brain. Off, of course, there is the military.
One of the very few things upon which this country is supposed to rally around is our military. They are given missions for which they didn’t ask. They do them anyway. When it comes to the military, one stands behind the head of the military, the president. If, under Trump, our troops were attacked in the Middle East or by China, North Korea, whomever, we would want our troops to do well and that means we’d want Trump to make the right decisions and not hold all failures against him.
Trump’s spokesperson Liz Harrington is supposed to know this. She is supposed to be better than she’s been, she has the experience:
Also, Liz previously served as RNC’s national spokesperson. She was appointed to the position in April 2019. As a matter of fact, Liz had replaced Kayleigh McEnany in the role. McEnany had left to be the press secretary for the reelection campaign of President Trump.
In addition, Liz has served for Washington Free Beacon. In fact, she was a senior writer for the conservative media. Also, she has made several appearances on news shows expressing her far-right viewpoints.
She is supposed to know better. She is supposed to know that you don’t take political advantage of bodies coming back to Dover Air Force Base, and yet here she is.
Joe Biden still thinks he's playing the "empathy" candidate, checking his watch for when it's time to go back to the basement
Imagine telling the pregnant widow of a man who you got killed about your son who died of cancer

Not only is she taking political advantage of a tragedy, but if there was ever a president, vice-president, senator, who was known to have sympathy or empathy it is Joe Biden. This is amateur hour at the worst possible time. Of course, Biden would mention losing a son to cancer, it is called “bonding,” acknowledging that one has felt the way she feels.
And then the real unforgivable thing: The man who “you got k*lled,”
Joe Biden personally, while trying to save hundreds of other families from the same fate, pulls the troops out and loses some along the way (which they expected), and yet we hear “whom “you got k*lled.” Yes, we need a man like Trump back, a man with empathy, sympathy, all that, the one that went to Dover a total of four times, and none for two years after having been chewed out by a SEAL’s father.
Even as Trump’s spokesperson, she’s supposed to be better than this.
