That's not to excuse the politicization of this at all. Frankly, if anyone was going to open her mouth, it should have been the widow's decision to talk and the Congresswoman's corroboration, not the other way around. This was not something that was designed from the start to be a political ploy, but it was made into one, and say what you inevitably will to defend Trump, his words, even if out of context, were far less appropriate than what one would expect the commander in chief to say to the relatives of a slain soldier.

So you know exactly what was said and the context then? Because your judging it as "far less appropriate" smacks of bias as well.

Not only because of the source, or the lack of proof, or the lack of context, but also because it is so unnecessary. We already have hours and hours of VIDEO of Trump saying and doing inane things, we don't need any hearsay evidence that's he's a moron and a weirdo, we have enough direct evidence already.

As for the media, their story is completely accurate. They are reporting that a congressperson is claiming Trump said this stuff. That is absolutely true. I haven't seen anyone in the mainstream media claim that Trump actually said it. They are reporting that it is in dispute what he said.
