An abortion ban killed her. Trump used Fox town hall to mock her grieving family.​

I've seen plenty of vile things happen during political campaigns, but this was several steps beyond twisted. Who weighs the words of a grieving family or the weight of their grief on a ratings scale?​

Opinion: An abortion ban killed her. Trump used Fox town hall to mock her grieving family.

At a Fox News town hall focused on women's issues, Donald Trump treated Amber Thurman's death and her family's grief like a laugh line.

The death of Amber Thurman, a 28-year-old mother, has been linked directly to Georgia’s draconian abortion ban, a ban that exists because Donald Trump proudly oversaw the end of Roe. v. Wade during his presidency.

At a Fox News town hall focused on women’s issues – taped Tuesday in Atlanta and broadcast Wednesday – Trump, the network host and the town hall attendees treated Thurman’s death and her family’s grief like a laugh line.

Noting that Thurman’s family held a press call hosted by Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ campaign before the Fox News event, host Harris Faulkner, with snark in her voice, said to Trump: “Amber Thurman’s family have come out on a press call, and they’re doing what’s called a prebuttal to our town hall right now.”

“Oh, that’s nice,” Trump said, dismissively, as the crowd chuckled.

Then he said: “We’ll get better ratings, I promise.” And Faulkner and the crowd erupted in laughter.

Trump delivers one of the most vile moments of his campaign​

I’ve seen plenty of vile things happen during political campaigns, but this was several steps beyond twisted.

Who weighs the words of a grieving family or the weight of their grief on a ratings scale? Who laughs at a family speaking out about the death of their loved one?

Sometimes some suffering, and even death is worth it for a greater goal, but it is important to spell out the greater goal. Why has not trump spelled out that greater goal?

THIS is what I simultaneously find fascinating and sickening about the cult of Cheeto Jeezus. They wail and rail and parrot about the death of a woman at the hands of an illegal alien, demonstrating a want for zero tolerance and an extreme border/immigration policy.

And yet, we have documented several cases of women either being irreparably damage or killed due to the dismantling of Roe v. Wade and the enactment of draconian abortion laws in red states .... and there is SILENCE from the MAGA peanut gallery.

Christo-fascists are smugly satisfied, for only the amoral and sinners become pregnant when they don't want to. And it's by God's decree that pregnancy be brought to term regardless of circumstance or consequences.

So much for non-interference of government .... so much for separation of church and state. So much for the sanctity of life.

You don't negotiate with fanatics. You either capitulate, get out of their way, or stand up to them and say "this is as far as you go".
