Trump campaign makes fun of Joe Biden as he visits son Beau Biden's grave

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/09/trump-campaign-s-joe-biden-for-going-to-visit-son-beau-bidens-grave/

Published 2 mins ago on September 6, 2020By Sarah K. Burris

Former Vice President Joe Biden spent the Labor Day weekend visiting his son Beau Biden’s grave. The elder Biden’s son died of glioblastoma, a brain cancer that creates a web of cancer throughout the brain, making it incredibly difficult to fight.

President Donald Trump’s rapid-response staffer Francis Brennan chose to mock Biden as he walked through the Deleware cemetery to his son’s grave.

The Democratic candidate didn’t run for president in 2016 because his family had just lost Beau and they weren’t ready to wage a national campaign.

The former VP still wears Beau’s rosary and even went so far as to tell “Morning Joe” that it should be his son running for president.



for Joe, Dr. B. & their family. It really, really hurts to lose a child.

But this is low, even for them. Biden goes to Mass and then visits his son's grave while Trump plays golf, and this asshole has the nerve to drag Biden for "meandering" and not talking to reporters?

President Donald Trump’s rapid-response staffer Francis Brennan chose to mock Biden as he walked through the Delaware cemetery to his son’s grave.


It wasn't a rapid-response, it was a rabid-response by cornered feral animals that have no soul or heart.This is beyond the pale to mock a man visiting his sons grave. All Brennan did is make clear dumps's remarks about our veterans are true.

F**K YOU!

day as it is the 6th month anniversary of his passing. I celebrated by ordering a pizza from his favorite place. I got chew toys for my fur grand-babies. There is pain, yes, but him not having to live in the world that is the way it is today is a blessing.

How do you mock a father's loss? Unless you're utterly soulless, an empty human being.

Just one more reason why these people must be defeated. The callousness and cruelty are positively disgusting. If you can mock a family's grief then anything is possible.

It might be that nothing 45 can do with his campaign will help, and probably not even the debate. What's to debate when the nation faces someone with 40 years of accomplishments compared to someone with no service and only unkept promises to the nation in the 3 years he's not been on the golf course.
