Family of orphaned 2 month old explain why they met with Twitler
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2019/08/09/family-month-old-el-paso-orphan-said-they-wanted-share-their-pain-with-trump/Tito Anchondo wishes people would stop politicizing his family’s tragedy.
Anchondo, who lost his beloved brother and sister-in-law in the rampage outside an El Paso Walmart on Saturday, said he chose to take his orphaned nephew to University Medical Center of El Paso on Wednesday to meet the president and first lady. The 2-month-old suffered two broken fingers in the shooting but survived after his parents, Andre and Jordan Anchondo, shielded him from the gunfire and were slain themselves.
Tito Anchondo said he wanted to meet the president to tell him about his family’s grievous pain. “He was just there as a human being, consoling us and giving his condolences,” he said about Trump in an interview outside his family’s auto-body shop in south-central El Paso.
...
But Anchondo strongly rejects that view of the shootings and said he did not want the photo to be seen through a political lens. Anchondo previously told NPR that his family is Republican and his murdered brother had supported Trump.
The president “wasn’t there to be pushing any kind of political agenda,” he said, describing “a private conversation between human beings.”

It’s like no one understands the true character and drive of the Impeachable One. Have they not paid attention to his narcissism over the last three years??
He doesn’t give a flying fuck about anyone’s feelings at all. Just at how he comes off in the media.
Then again, the baby’s parents were supporters of the grifter
