11. The WH tried to reach her DURING HER DAUGHTER'S SERVICE

"Bro said the White House attempted to reach her repeatedly during her daughter's Wednesday funeral." (from the OP's link).

Who does that?? Didn't they know her daughter's service was in progress? The entire COUNTRY knew it! Did they expect her to cut her beautiful speech short to take a call from Trump?

What do terrorists crave? Free media attention. FREE media attention. FREE media attention.

Without someone (free) carrying the message for them they are almost powerless. Good for her. Refusing to give Trump free PR and have him exploit and twist her message is courage in action.

Love it!

"Well first of all, Heyer's mother said how great of a man I am, then she spent several minutes listing all my great and wonderful qualities, including how handsome I am. She said it was an honor to talk to me and I am doing the best job ever. It was such an honor for her to speak to me, she said my words are so beautiful."

He would have used her, like he already did.
