That's certainly not in keeping with the Repug's playbook.

"Oh, I had NO IDEA you'd be offended! Can you forgive me?"

Then it's on the victim to beat off the holier than thou. It's a feature of the local culture.

The answer is "No. It is not okay."

Having sent out a campaign fundraising email with the pictures, Cox is forced to fall on his sword to preserve the gaslighting nonsense of the Master.

So, in addition to being an unethical dipshit, he's also a sniveling coward. Nice look.

Clueless politicians such as Spencer Cox tend to leap before they look. Insincere apologies from Cox aside, I would hazard a guess that Republicans running for re-election this cycle might be approaching their association with Trump and his antics with a bit more caution.

Big thumbs up! 👍

they walk it back walk it back walk it back.

"Oh, terribly sorry. Must have been an intern. Silly us. Campaign email, you say? Oh, definitely not a political event, no-sir-ee."

These people are trashbags.

Bring in the Governor of Utah so he can get face time with Trump to help both their campaigns.
We know from past words and actions by Trump that he couldn't care less about dead soldiers, aka by him as suckers and losers.
You also know that he is a loveless, self-absorbed creature who will do whatever he thinks will help him get elected, and that after his election he'd never give a thought to the man, whose name he most likely forgot an hour after leaving the grave site.
How could a man without honor actually honor a fallen soldier?

If it wasn't a campaign event, then why did he take all these photos and not stop the assault on the guard? Utah, do better.

shamed.
