Grieving Gold Star mom shuts down CNN’s Trump hammering: ‘I just want people to remember my son’

Carmine Sabia  "In a never ending quest to criticize President Donald Trump, CNN brought on the parents of another Gold Star family whose son was killed in action. And it made for a heart-wrenching interview.

"Sheila and Calvin Murphy appeared on the network to discuss their son, Etienne Murphy, 22, who died in Syria.

"Host Alisyn Camerota attempted to bait Sheila Murphy by asking if she had received a call from president Trump, but Murphy shut the door quick." . . .

Pay attention to the way CNN worded the chyron at the bottom of this video.


. . . "Gold star families have taken center stage this week since Democrat Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson shamelessly used one such family as a prop to wage her personal war against President Trump. Wilson claimed the president was callous towards the soldier’s widow and painted the president as uncaring about veterans.
"But her own record showed that she voted many times over the years against legislation aimed at helping veterans and their families."
Democrats, Fake News Media Exploit Sgt. La David Johnson’s Death to Smear Trump  . . . "Jake Tapper is among the conspiratorially-minded. That became clear during Wednesday’s edition of CNN’s The Lead, in which he led the show with a recap of Trump’s supposed history of “attacking Gold Star families,” as the chyron read, beginning with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and continuing through the infamous Khizr Khan.
"What Tapper conveniently failed to remember is that in each of these cases, the families attacked Trump first in a nakedly political fashion." . . . 
. . . "It took Holder ten months to apologize to the family of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, who died in Holder’s botched Operation Fast and Furious. And Holder only apologized after being publicly exposed for never having done so.

"Regardless, the media’s latest attack on Trump marks a new low. It requires us to disbelieve the evidence of what we have seen with our own eyes after nine months of Trump as commander-in-chief — that he cares deeply about those who serve in the military and law enforcement, and particularly for the families of the fallen. This is nothing more than a smear campaign, specifically aimed at dividing the country and distracting from the victory in Syria." . . .
