Case in point, Dan Grilo.
Grilo, who describes himself as a “former Hillary 16 volunteer”, called Owens an “idiot” who had been “used” by President Trump:
“Folks, clearly a poorly worded tweet. I apologize to all and am deeply moved by all your comments. Thank you for your feedback,” Grilo tweeted.
While Grilo clearly regretted his distasteful comments, others on the left were not quite as apologetic.
HBO host Bill Maher, for example, stated “I wish she hadn’t allowed herself to be used as his prop like that. And I don’t see any great courage here. What — where is the courage? Who wouldn’t stand and applaud for a war widow?”
Alt-left filmmaker Michael Moore called Owens’ presence at the speech “a sort of a ‘f-you’ to the people who are criticizing” Trump over the raid that lead to Ryan Owens’ death.”
The disgraceful comments prove that some on the left can turn literally anythinginto a partisan issue–even honoring the wife of a fallen hero.
