We are dismayed at the lack sensitivity to those lives lost on December 7, 1941 by a candidate for President. These attacks that caused thousands of deaths have no place in this type of political discourse.

Remember that time Pearl Harbor was bombed and FDR called the Emperor of Japan? Or the time the Twin Towers were struck and Bush ringed Osama Bin Laden? No? I don’t either. So why’d @realDonaldTrump call Putin after the Mueller Report was released? #CommanderInCheat
