Imagine one of the loudest voices in TV saying the following about your dead brother or dead son:
“All you in the liberal media,” he said on his radio show, “I am not https://t.co/YVoDTvSQbr or https://t.co/jg1xOw4YqF. I retracted nothing.” 4/x

"I said publicly over and over to the Rich Family they are in my thoughts and prayers. I m trying to find the truth as the Mom Dad bro asked" https://t.co/ByD5zfIa3C 6/x
