I thought Gold Star families were off limits?
That's what the Dems have been saying, but now the Dems are stooping to calling Kelly racist among other things.

The whole issue is a joke. They took the original statement out of context where Trump said soldiers go there knowing the risk. Then when that gets corrected they go for the ever popular claim of racism.
Just another of many examples where democrats/liberals will stoop to any level to get a leg up. More intelligent people however are getting more and more wise to it. Its become so obvious of late.

They are targets for the left.
Always have been.
Even those who came back from Viet Nam were targets of the loser left.
The only ones who get a pass from "what is left" are those who have been assimilated.

Kelly is a public figure. Most Gold Star families are not. Sad that you do not understand the difference.

It isn't whether soldiers go into a combat zone knowing the risk or not. Of course they do. It's all about whether Trump should have said that to his grieving parents.
Instead of saying "He knew what he was signing up for," he should have said. "Your son was a brave man, dedicated to his country. I'm sure he understood the dangers he might be facing. Yet, in spite of that, he put himself in harms way to help others and serve his country.
The statement Trump made diminishes the soldier and his sacrifice. It makes it seem that oh well it was just one of those things.
The statement he did not make specifically acknowledges the bravery of the fallen warrior. It shows that this was a choice he made while cognizant of the dangers and praises him for looking out for someone besides himself.
Something Trump never does.

Especially when public figures get it wrong:

But hey, according to Sarah Sanders, anything a  star General says is not to be debated or questioned.

Actual statement : They know the risk, they know what they sign up for, yet they still volunteer to put their lives on the line for their fellow Americans. We owe them a debt that can never be repaid.
Your liberal cronies choose to omit all but the very first line. Even you mosty should realize the problem here. Are you really that closed minded?

You would believe that moron in a cowboy hat screaming racist over anyone?????
BTW, it is NONE of her racist business.
The birth has an agenda and is using this tragedy as an opportunity. But then, democrats are not American, so I guess it to be expected.
RUSSIANS are more American than democrats.
democrats should rename their party the Ipecac Party.

Watch your mouth, mister. Hopalong Cassidy wore a cowboy hat.
Rep. Wilson’s account was confirmed by La David Johnson’s aunt who raised him from the time he was five; and who was in the car when the call took place.
