    NO. She should have said nothing at all instead of praising him.

    Politicians should generally avoid gravedancing, sure, but not this bullshit.

      “Sorry for your loss” and maybe “vice presidents, huh? Yeah.”

      that’s it

      She went way too far there.

        She praised his ‘public service’ which was all 100% evil. If she left out the middle paragraph it would have been fine.

      She praised what was praise-worthy: public service generally

      This is how you focus on shared humanity, foster inclusiveness, and turn down the partisan tribalism

        His ‘public service’ was fucking over the country and starting a war based on lies to further enrich the wealthy.

        Not every politician serves the public.

        War crimes so he and his rich friends could personally profit is in no way public service.

        Dick Cheney’s entire professional life was 100% against all those things.
