Trump attacks a dead man again. Trump is a terrible person. Most Republicans won’t condemn these despicable comments.
A response from Rep. Debbie Dingell’s office after the president’s attack tonight. https://t.co/rvO5kgzJ93 pic.twitter.com/WD46Lzg3Si

John Dingell served our country in World War II. He was the longest-serving Member of the House in history, was instrumental in passing Medicare, Civil Rights, Clean Air Act, & more. @realDonaldTrump is not fit to carry Mr. Dingell’s boots. How dare Trump disparage his memory.

Trump made fun of a widow tonight at his Rally in Battle Creek, MI. The woman was Rep Debbie Dingell who lost her husband last year. He was a loved and respected Congressman. Trump mocks his death implying he may be looking up from Hell. Then pretend cries acting like he’s Debbie pic.twitter.com/wje7J1xqyX

Debbie Dingell has managed her public grief with all the grace in the world, but her pain has been visible. She wears her husband’s rings around her neck on a chain. She‘s teared up in front of reporters. It’s devastating to think that anyone would choose to make that pain worse. https://t.co/WWThpdIzZQ

As he was getting impeached, Trump ridiculed a dead congressman who was an iconic figure in the House https://t.co/THqqCJnbZA

He mocks a widow- imitating her supposedly thanking Trump after her husband’s death – & then “jokingly” says that Rep. Dingell is in hell now. This isn’t normal, it’s not even human. Ask every @GOP defender to respond to this, please. Make them defend the indefensible. https://t.co/XytloELfma

Stories covering Trump's insult of John Dingell need to mention that this is a pattern.

In June, Trump seemed to imply that he was happy that McCain was dead and had gone on to "far less green pastures."
Those comments were made at a faith conference. https://t.co/qkiUMgpKtn
Does the president really believe that simply lowering a flag for a deceased lawmaker should have protected him from a vote for impeachment? Trump’s expectations of loyalty & support for relatively insignificant actions are illuminating … https://t.co/YiPN2jc2x1

Trump rhetoric infects the press. Rep. Dingell did not “hit back.” She expressed her grief over the President of the United States cruelly criticizing her recently deceased husband. https://t.co/87NCG8QqSu

Correct. Not even a consideration for him. https://t.co/Q8MZtFYUwu

The "counter-puncher” metaphor also posits Trump as the victim because when he’s “counterpunching” he’s supposedly defending himself from attack when in fact he’s being a bully. https://t.co/OoHSa4vEm9

We have enabled him. He has been allowed to prosper while constantly saying things like this. He has rarely been held accountable. That’s one reason impeachment matters. https://t.co/SY7HFtfyKU

Sad!
