'Disgusting': Dem Lawmaker Blasts Republicans For Their Silence
Rep Becca Balint (D-VT) went on MS NOW's The Weekend to discuss Trump's crazy Easter social media post. Balint wasted no time in tearing into Trump and his cowardly Republican sycophants:
BALINT: I actually just shared it with my wife about a half hour ago, and you know, it's still shocking, it's shocking that this is our president. It is shocking that he said nothing about the service member who has recovered or all of the brave men and women who were involved in recovering that downed airman. It's shocking that he who calls himself a Christian has not offered any kind of words of hope or renewal on this most sacred day to Christians around the world.
It is something that is such an indication to me that my Republican colleagues have accepted for themselves that there is, there's no bottom. They will continue to support this man regardless of how unhinged and how unfit he is for office, and to know that we have service members in harm's way right now in a war of choice.
It was not a necessity. This was a choice that our president made, and he can't even spend time this morning thinking about the people right now who need to hear words of comfort. It's, it's disgusting.
