Totally agree.

People will lie to themselves in order to justify their trolling and evil post.

Seriously? You are going to condemn him because he did his job and was a combat veteran and put his life on the line for us? Really???

Ah, but you see Jersey, we have no way of knowing who many of these people are that are making these tasteless and despicable comments regarding Ms. Warren's brother's demise. Many people will simply assume these people are "right wingers" simply out to take a few jabs at our favorite Native American ex-presidential candidate. And in some cases, you'd probably be right. There are despicable people on all sides of the aisle and some people just can't help but revel in other people's misery.

However, I would be more than willing to put money on the table and bet that many of those comments are coming from people who are on the same side "politically" as Ms. Warren. Why, you might ask? Because any opportunity that arises which might afford those on the left a chance to paint conservatives/right wingers/Republicans in a negative light will never be wasted. Even if that means subjecting "one of their own" to a minor bit a cruelty. You know how it is. For the greater good and all that.

Personally, as a conservative, I can say that I am not a fan of Ms. Warren's politics. But beyond that, I don't know this woman or her family. They may be simply wonderful people whom I would be friends with under normal circumstances. As such, I would do nothing more than offer my condolences to Ms. Warren and her family after this tragic loss. While it does sound like her brother lived a full life before this tragedy befell him, it's still a shame to see a man who possibly had several more years of life ahead of him taken by this virus.

Despite the fact I do abhor her politics, I feel sorry for her losing a sibling.
^^^^This.

Much as I dislike her, it's sad to hear that she lost a family member to this horrible virus.

This is certainly nothing new. We see this any time someone dies who is involved in politics. And sometimes, it even extends to close family members. Some people are just evil and disgusting human beings.

All 3 of her brothers were Republicans. They all loved each other. When her earning went up. she invested in their businesses.

If her family could ignore the partisan BS, the rest of us could at least try to.

So the right wingers on this thread have said he doesn't deserve respect for his service because he is Elizabeth Warren's brother.

And they have gone with the "Baby Killer" angle.

An internet conspiracy...

At least you all got all your bases covered.
