I should have posted this in GD instead of LBN because the link goes to a thread of live updates on HuffPostSen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) immediately called for Trump to apologize for comments he made during a press conference about the plane crash, calling them "grotesque."

His comments were grotesque and outrageous and he owes the American people an apology."

This is not the time to ignore horrendously bad behavior. Time to ensure that all see the nakedness of the Emperor.
Think. Again.

I fear, however, that the mainstream media won't cover their comments.

(29,272 posts)And where the hell are the rest of the Democratic officials, who should be joining Chris Van Hollen against this unspeakable outrage? Are they already that beaten down and fearful, that such an opportunity to gain political traction from such a tragedy will be wasted?
Just how much of this shit are we supposed to eat?
