Ex-Clinton volunteer loses job

Ex-Clinton volunteer slammed, loses job, after swipe at widow of fallen SEAL


While widely regarded as the most powerful moment of the night, Grilo was not impressed. Responding to a tweet from L.A. Times reporter Matt Pearce, who noted that Owens was crying and overwhelmed, Grilo tweeted:

“Sorry, Owens' wife, you’re not helping yourself or your husband’s memory by standing there and clapping like an idiot. Trump just used you.”

The tweet quickly zipped around social media as commentators on both sides of the aisle were outraged by the swipe. Donald Trump Jr. called the tweet an example of “hatred from the other side."

Grilo’s account soon went private, and was then deleted entirely. But the tweets were saved and archived by other Twitter users.

Grilo’s LinkedIn page says he works as a principal for the Chicago-based Liberty Advisor Group. But as of Wednesday morning, Grilo’s profile page on the site had been deleted, and the company later confirmed that an employee had sent what they called "an offensive and inappropriate tweet" regarding the Gold Star family.

You know, I really hate it when the Democrats USE victims to advance their causes. Whether your name is Sheehan or Khan or you're one of the "Jersey Widows", they're just being used by the left.
I'm not crazy about it when the right does it either but - one, she felt honored by it and two - too damned bad. Sauce for the goose.

BUT -

It's never a good idea to attack the *victim*. That's just heartless and cold and vicious. It is much better to just say nothing. JUST SAY NOTHING.
What kind of SOB thinks their *politics* supersedes someone's grief?

Progressives have such a raging hatred for anything Trump does, it supersedes common sense .... they are compelled to vent their spleen at you and tell you just how they feel about you
