A former Clinton/Obama Democratic staffer (volunteer) was fired from their job today after a disgusting tweet last night mocking Carryn Owens, the Gold Star widow of Navy SEAL William Ryan Owens:
FOX NEWS – A former Hillary Clinton volunteer drew swift condemnation — and lost his job — after mocking the widow of a fallen Navy SEAL who was honored by the president during his congressional address Tuesday night.
Dan Grilo, who said in his Twitter profile that he was a former volunteer for both Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, made the remarks after Trump paid tribute to Carryn Owens. She is the widow of U.S. Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens, who was killed in a counterterrorism raid in Yemen last month.
Here’s the tweet:
Hatred from the other side. I would think this is beyond what a human is capable of saying to someone, but it's not! pic.twitter.com/nNVfFWJmDh

Apparently he apologized shortly after his tweet, but then went private and deleted his entire account:
Grilo’s account soon went private, and was then deleted entirely. But the tweets were saved and archived by other Twitter users.
Grilo’s LinkedIn page says he works as a principal for the Chicago-based Liberty Advisor Group. But as of Wednesday morning, Grilo’s profile page on the site had been deleted, and the company later confirmed that an employee had sent what they called “an offensive and inappropriate tweet” regarding the Gold Star family.
In a statement, the company said that while the message was from his personal account, “his comments were inconsistent with the Company’s values.”
“Regardless of whether the comments in the tweet were intended to cause the hurt and anger that they ultimately generated, they were unacceptable to us, and the individual who issued the tweet is no longer affiliated with Liberty,” the statement said.
This is exactly what Mary Katharine Ham was talking about today. These rabid Trump-hating Democrats, who just say awful things, can’t even be respectful of the widow of a slain Navy SEAL. And that was the case for many of them last night, which is why she spoke out in the first place.
In the world of social media there are consequences when you say bat-sh** crazy stuff. And this guy is feeling them today.
