61. They're blaming Biden for their son's death. They want revenge and Trump will provide it.

I've seen lots of revengeful victim's families. I've seen many, many families politicize their child's death.

Keep in mind, this is a very conservative Mormon family. Of course, they want Trump.

Bottom line: This is about Trump, not about the family. The swift boaters are looking to see if the Democrats will disparage a Gold Star family the way Trump did in 2016. Democrats and the press got all over Trump. Now they want Democrats to take the bait.

This is about Trump and his campaign stunt. His campaign stunt was violation of the federal law. The family is not violating federal law.

Bashing them does nothing to help Kamala win.
