Trump does not apologize. You'll die waiting for that day.Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) thanked House Republicans for their outpouring of support Thursday after President Trump’s suggestion during a campaign rally that her late husband, John Dingell, might be “looking up” from hell.
Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) thanked House Republicans for their outpouring of support Thursday after President Trump’s suggestion during a campaign rally that her late husband, John Dingell, might be “looking up” from hell.
The previous night, after the House’s tense debate to approve two articles of impeachment against Trump, the president lashed out at Dingell for her vote against him, especially after he gave military support for John Dingell’s memorial services.
[...]
Dingell appeared Thursday morning on CNN, and host Alisyn Camerota queued a clip of Trump’s incendiary remarks with Dingell on a split screen. The congresswoman’s face remained stoic as Trump mimicked her in a phone call he made to Dingell after her husband died.
But her eyes closed tightly for a moment when Trump arrived at the line she knew was coming.
[...]
“ ‘John would be so thrilled. He’s looking down,’ ” Dingell told him, according to Trump, who then said to the crowd: “Maybe he’s looking up, I don’t know.”
[...]
Despite an uproar from Democrats and some Republicans, Trump has not apologized.

When will Upton and Crenshaw be announcing their retirement?Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.), a close family friend who served as a eulogist at Dingell’s February funeral Mass in Georgetown, called on Trump to apologize. “I’ve always looked up to John Dingell,” Upton tweeted. “. . . There was no need to ‘dis’ him in a crass political way. Most unfortunate and an apology is due.”
[...]
“Merry Christmas Debbie, you deserve to be able to heal in peace. Those comments were totally unnecessary,” tweeted Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Texas conservative and frequent Trump defender.
Bold stance, Kev.[Minority leader Kevin] McCarthy — who, at Dingell’s funeral, sat in the front pew with Pelosi and other congressional leaders — declined to address Trump’s comments Thursday at a news conference, describing the Dingells as “very good individuals.”
It couldn't be more obvious that he does indeed care.Trump’s remarks Wednesday echo his unrelenting attacks against the late senator John McCain of Arizona even after his death, which have drawn criticism from Republicans. In the same way Trump attacked Dingell for voting to impeach him despite “A-plus treatment” for her deceased husband, he went after McCain’s loved ones for not sufficiently thanking him for McCain’s funeral.
“I gave him the kind of funeral he wanted, which as president I had to approve,” Trump inaccurately said in March, apparently referring to authorizing the military transport of McCain’s body. “I don’t care about this. I didn’t get a thank-you — that’s okay. We sent him on the way.”
America's petty, disgusting and dickless IMPOTUS.
