The men who served with Bill Taylor in Vietnam and at tough diplomatic postings overseas have been enraged watching the president and the White House attack him.
2/ GEN (ret) and Ambassador Karl Eikenberry: "Bill always volunteered for the tough posting - in combat with the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, Afghanistan, Gaza, the difficult spots in the Middle East."
3/ GEN Eikenberry adds pointedly that Taylor's "integrity and courage are the true marks of patriotism, loyal to an oath of office and never to be corrupted or intimidated by those seeking personal gain at our Nation's expense."

“What this man did to Kayla — he kidnapped her...She was held in many prisons. She was held in solitary confinement. She was tortured. She was intimidated....
2/ "...She was ultimately raped by al-Baghdadi himself. He either killed her or he was complicit in her murder. I’ll let people who read this article make up their own mind how a parent should feel.”
3/ Marsha Mueller, Kayla's mother: "We are so grateful for them" -- President Trump and special operations forces -- "we are so grateful...I still say Kayla should be here, and if Obama had been as decisive as President Trump, maybe she would have been...

1) Of course the @POTUS will go to Pittsburg to grieve for the victims, despite the letter from what is clearly a group of radical leftists in the Jewish community..
2) A powerful letter from a group of left wing nuts 🥜 who clearly haven’t been paying attention as @POTUS has denounced white nationalists many times, but he hasn’t denounced nationalism and that is the real issue.
3) of course #FakeNews #CNN tried hard to put this blame on Trump, with the result blowing up in their face (like everything they do) As the Rabbi for the tree of life synagogue said he will welcome the presidents visit Tomorrow..

Today, we remember those whose lives were taken at the Tree of Life Synagogue in a heinous act of hate-fueled gun violence.

We will honor the lives of these victims, and deny the shooter the notoriety he craves. #NoNotoriety #synagogueshooting cnn.com/2018/10/28/us/…
Joyce Fienberg was a 75-year-old widow and grandmother with two sons, who formerly worked as a research specialist at the Univ. of Pittsburgh. A former student said Joyce “lit up a room with her huge personality. We weren't just welcome in the classroom, but into their home."
Dr. Richard Gottfried, 65, shared a dental practice with his wife, Peg. The couple both volunteered at a free dental clinic and provided dental services to the local school district. The district superintendent said Richard was "a fixture in the lives of those in our community.”
