‘We have a RIGHT to ATTACK her’ – former congressman on Gold Star widow

Joe Walsh ain’t screwin’ around on this whole Gold Star widow scandal. He says that by coming out publicly and criticizing Trump, Myeshia has now made herself fair game for attacks.

He makes it clear in further tweets that he means “political” attacks, not physical ones.

Yes, here’s the difference – generals earn that respect by something that they did. They earned that respect through hard work and their service. But a Gold Star widow is a victim of circumstance. Generals choose their respected station in life – Gold Star widows are tragically forced into a position they never wanted to be in.

That doesn’t mean she’s beyond criticism. That means you should just suck it up, be a better man, and move on instead of going on the attack. If only we had a president that would do that.
