I personally think he didn't 'go' too far. He's been too far for quite some time. He's just marking time in place where he's been all along.
I think it's a shame that Democrats decided to use those people for their own political gains. Do you think that they took into account the fifty people who were slaughtered in a nightclub not so long ago or the eighty people who were slaughtered by a radical Muslim a little while ago and the feelings of all the Americans associated with the loss of them before they addressed the nation in regards to their interests relating to Muslims in general? Are immigrant Muslim more valuable to the Democrats than the people who died in Florida and in France?
It was Trump who was using their son for personal political purpose. The parents of the dead boy had no particular interest in politics until Trump stepped into their lives. They just wanted him to stop playing political football with their son's grave.
I can't speak for all Democrats, but I'm of the mind that all men are created equal. A lot of Americans value that principle. It's traditional in this country. Now, the French have more responsibility for the people on French soil, and the US has more responsibility for folks on our soil, but I'd kind of hope that the two nations are exchanging intelligence freely and value all equally.
Only a racist, or since Orlando has been mentioned someone with an attitude towards gay people, would start thinking in terms of whether this person is more important than that person. You don't look at the color of someone's skin, their religion, or their language and decide this person deserves to be valued more or protected more than someone else. At least, that's what Americans are supposed to believe. Not everyone in America follows American values.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
