RIP to all the fallen service men and women.

How did we go from honoring her son's death to Trump's gaslighted illegal immigration rant?

[beaeberts]

So tired of people politicizing soldier's death.

[lbnise]

My heart goes out to all of the families who lost loved ones. Heartbreaking.

[jermainedavison]

As a soldier of 27 years I am saddened by the lost of her son and for all of my lost brothers and sisters in arm. Unfortunately, she fails to understand that we understood upon taking that oath there would be a chance of tragedy. I hope she finds peace with what is God's will

[postman]

I'm sorry for my fellow brother who lost his life. But, the same man who said he is sorry is the one who negotiated with the terrorists to leave on that day!

[toxiphilia]

I feel for the loved ones of the 13 service members and the 169 civilians who died that day. I hope they find peace.

This woman is a hero. Her son is a hero! God bless her!

Did she forget Trump promised for 4 years to bring home our troops and made a deal with terrorists excluding the Afghan government which failed terribly.

[albertlucia]

Does she know that he has a history of disrespecting fallen service members and is cynically exploiting her tragedy to stay out of jail?

[lorigravelin]

From a mother’s perspective, I’m heartbroken for her, as a human being with empathy, I feel for her, as an American, I’m sick of ppl like her.

[billfolino]

God Bless these young soldiers! May they Rest In Peace 🙏❤️ May you Heal ❤️‍🩹

[GentlemanJack]

To act like the VP has the same authority to make decisions only the president can make is asinine. Sorry for her loss, but she's misguided.

[gparson]

And he told the widow of a Black American serviceman: "he knew what he signed up for".

[atessoni]

Sorry for her loss- but anyone want to tell her it was one of the prisoners who Trump had released that bombed the airport?

[mountainmedium]

Way to speak up Paula! I know your Son is incredibly proud of you!
I'm so terribly sorry for the loss of your beautiful, incredibly brave Son, and for all you have been put thru. God bless you, protect you, and give you strength.

[cheryllwaldrop]

I can't believe CNN let her speak against the current administration.

[jdleo]

Talk about disgracing her sons memory and his service!

[CesarinAZ]

It's absolutely wild to turn your sons death into a stump speech about Donald Trump.

[anniecash]

Have we entered an alternate universe, where CNN actually gives voice to someone who speaks positively about Trump, and criticizes the Biden administration?
