NPR Host Roasts Kellyanne on Inviting Bullied Boy to SOTU: Will Trump ‘Apologize’ for His Bullying?

‘— And in doing so will he apologize for his own role in cyberbullying people with whom he disagrees?’

MARTIN: "I want to ask you, the President and the First Lady invited a young man named Joshua Trump to attend the speech tonight, because Joshua who is in sixth grade has been bullied because of his last name. Is the President going to mention Joshua in his address, and in doing so will he apologize for his own role in cyberbullying people with whom he disagrees?”
CONWAY: "Well, we're certainly happy that Joshua Trump is coming. His story has really tugged at the heartstrings of anybody, but particularly those of us like me who have school-aged children."

There is though some hypocrisy, people pointed out, to invite a man who has been bullied, not to dismiss his claims, but to ignore the President's own role."
