YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Trump administration appears to be successfully sweeping this whole thing under the rug. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Bill Owens told the Herald that Trump should not “hide behind my son’s death to prevent an investigation”.
He also said he told a chaplain at the airbase: “I’m sorry, I don’t want to see him. I told them I don’t want to meet the president. I told them I didn’t want to make a scene about it, but my conscience wouldn’t let me talk to him.”
In a statement to the Herald, a White House spokesman, Michael Short, said Ryan Owens was “an American hero who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of his country”.
On Sunday, a White House spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, told ABC’s This Week she believed the president would support an investigation of the raid.
“As a parent, I can’t imagine the loss that [Bill Owens] has suffered,” Huckabee Sanders said. “I think every American owes his son a great deal of gratitude. We are forever in his son’s debt. I know that he paid the ultimate sacrifice when he went on that mission.
“And I know that the mission has a lot of different critics, but it did yield a substantial amount of very important intel and resources that helped save American lives and other lives.”
Asked if Trump would support an investigation, Huckabee Sanders said: “I haven’t had the chance to speak with him directly about that, but I would imagine that he would be supportive of that.””*
