Former state Senator Becky Lourey
Former state Senator Becky Lourey, whose son was killed on a tour of duty in Iraq, says she’s “deeply dismayed and horrified” by what Donald Trump has been saying to the family of a Muslim American soldier killed in action. Lourey says young soldiers from Pine and Carlton counties whose funerals she attended, died protecting every American “and our inalienable rights, including the rights of Donald Trump and his family. But Donald Trump has no idea what sacrifice is.” Lourey says Trump “has no empathy” and “is more than callous — he is dangerous.” State Republican Party officials have not responded to a request for comment.
