Unwarranted criticism for missing funeral

When, the Rev. Jesse Jackson was eulogized and buried, Obama, Biden, Harris, Pritzker and others participated and paid their respects. Of course, no one has any problem with the entire event, except goofy folks on social media criticizing President Trump for not attending. I don’t know about you, but I don’t believe you and I or anyone would want to be present at an event where you were not welcome. Obama took time to lambaste Trump thoroughly. Instead of toning down the rhetoric, the left just continues to pile on.

OK, you hate Trump; we get that. However, during a ceremony honoring someone’s life, couldn’t you wait to pontificate and pander to your base for at least one day? Politicians never change regardless of party affiliation, they can’t help themselves. Hey by the way, nobody criticized George Bush; he was not there either.
