Ive always looked up to John Dingell - my good friend and a great Michigan legend. There was no need to 'dis' him in a crass political way. Most unfortunate and an apology is due.

(4,533 posts)Several years ago reporters were trying to get a comment from Upton as he was walking into the Capital building. He totally ignored them until one reporter asked What do you think about Kate Upton? She is his niece. He stopped cold, turned and said with a smile Kate Upton is wonderful. Then he continued. Everyone I have ever heard talk about her has said pretty much the same thing.

(16,508 posts)"An apology is due" is also a pretty passive way of expressing it.

(36 posts)I hate this bullshit 'unfortunate' line. Trump didn't say it accidentally. He meant every syllable. It wasn't unfortunate. It was deliberate and intentionally cruel. So stop giving this evil scumbag the get out clause that he may have accidentally used the hell line. Grow a set and call Trump out for the bully he is.

(3,363 posts)Not going to hold my breath it will hurt him, but John Dingell is beloved in Michigan and Trump accusing a beloved WWII veteran of being in Hell because his wife voted for impeachment may not sit well with Michigan.
It would be awesome if this completely destroys his chances of winning Michigan again.

(3,479 posts)To suggest that a WWII vet is burning in hell while mocking his grieving widow represents a new low for this POS.
