Who’s Insensitive?

They criticized the president for attending a baseball game after the terrorist attacks in Brussels, but look at what the Republican frontrunner was doing:

Trump has been at the center of many of the campaign’s most vitriolic moments. The real estate mogul has insulted Carly Fiorina’s looks, questioned Ben Carson’s religion, and endlessly mocked Bush, Rubio and Cruz.

His latest fight with Cruz began Tuesday night, hours after the terrorist attacks in Brussels, when Trump tweeted: “Lyin’ Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin’ Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!”

Of course, we know what happened next. Trump retweeted a picture of his wife looking beautiful alongside a picture of Cruz’s wife looking awkward.

Yeah, it’s embarrassing, but it’s also hypocritical. The president said it’s important for us not to let terrorists interrupt our daily lives and routines. For some, taking in a baseball game is a normal routine, for others it’s tweeting out insults about rivals’ wives.
