WASHINGTON -- One widow instantly knew how the other one felt."I'm preparing for the first holiday season without the man I love," one said."I'm terribly sorry," the other replied. "Please know I am thinking about you."The Twitter exchange sounded like a salutation
President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally at Kellog Arena in Battle Creek, Mich., Dec. 18, 2019. “I’m preparing for the first holiday season without the man I love,” one said.The Twitter exchange sounded like a salutation between two women facing the season alone, but the message of support from Cindy McCain, the widow of John McCain, the Arizona senator, to Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., was about a different shared experience.
Dingell said on Thursday that she was still grieving the loss of her husband, who was the longest-serving congressman in American history. He retired from Congress in 2014 after serving his district, just outside Detroit, for 59 years. His wife, who now holds his seat, called for civility as she faced her first Christmas in 38 years without her husband.
“Maybe he’s looking up,” Trump said at one point. “I don’t know. I don’t know, maybe. Maybe. But let’s assume he’s looking down.” “This is equally as cruel as it is pathetic,” Biden, whose son Beau died in 2015, said on Twitter, “and it is beyond unconscionable that our President would behave this way.”
Rep. Paul Mitchell, another Michigan Republican, also said the president’s comments warranted an apology. “To use his name in such a dishonorable manner at last night’s rally is unacceptable from anyone, let alone the president of the United States,” he said. “An apology is due, Mr. President.”
