Ari Fleischer: ‘Empathy’ for Storm Victims Was Missing from Trump’s Remarks Today

RUSH EXCERPT:

FLEISCHER: "I was with President Bush when he went to see the devastation caused by fires in Missouri and Arizona and tornadoes in Missouri. There was something missing from what President Trump said, that’s the empathy for the people who suffer. With my opinion, that should’ve been the first thing he said, that his heart goes out to those people in Houston who are going through this and that the government is here to help them recover from this. Secondly the job of the president is to thank those who are the first responders doing all the rescuing. That is a huge morale boost to those working so far away from their families, their homes are often flooded but they are sacrificing themselves to stay others in the president needs to thank them. That’s what a presidential visit can accomplish, I hope you will return to that in some other public setting later today."
