In reply to the discussion: MSNBC just reported that the White House sent NO ONE to represent the administration at the funeral [View all]llmart

the fact that they haven't been welcome at any funerals, including John McCain, who was a member of their party says a lot about how awful this administration and the people who surround him are that they can't show their faces.

Yes, they are graceless & hateful, & aren't we relieved they didn't make a show of hypocrisy?

Yes. Any appearance by trump's posse would have been so out of place. "A show of hypocrisy" indeed.

This is not an administration, this is a disgusting, heartless cabal that hates minorities.

Why would they? It would have been the height of hypocrisy, a desecration of a sacred event.

My guess is that Trump made the decision. He'd rather have scorn from us than from his base.
