President Trump’s tribute to the wife of slain Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens should have been beyond reproach. It was a moment that transcended partisanship and politics. It was a moment that should have brought all Americans together in unity and collective respect for our honored dead. Unfortunately, liberals didn’t get the memo. Following Trump’s State of the Union address, liberals took to social media to shame Owens’ widow.
Feel really bad for that SEAL widow lady. (Esp. since she has to sit by Ivanka’s State of the Bra Strap dress.) #JointAddress

Social media users, namely conservatives and Americans of conscience, quickly condemned the perverse attacks on the Gold Star widow.
The pathetic fuckstain who insulted the SEAL widow blocked me.
Congrats, Dan Grillo.

#DanGrilo closed his account after making this despicable tweet. He must have been as embarrassed as the rest of the country was for him. pic.twitter.com/uSipEfCkSC

Clearly, liberals followed the lead of their morally depraved representatives in Congress. As The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro reported, top Democrats chose to remain sitting as Trump honored Owens and his grieving widow.
I can’t believe there were Democrats that remained in their seats during the standing ovation for a Navy Seal’s widow. Just disgraceful.

Sobbing widow of slain Navy Seal receives 2 minute standing ovation.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz & Keith Ellison stay firmly seated, no claps

Keith Ellison, Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and decrepit socialist Bernie Sanders all chose to let their disdain for Trump supersede their love of country.
Disgusting: Hate-filled Democrats refuse to stand for fallen Navy Seal’s widow! #JointAddress pic.twitter.com/z3zr0RPa5f

Shameful.
