Could you tell us what news source it was?

I saw it on my phone, an ap called News Break I think. Phone is dead and charging will have to get back to you on that one.

Business Insider

The Spectator

Toronto Sun

Middle East Monitor

Saw that. Don’t really see how it’s relevant one way or the other.

I saw it, too, tho’ never saw any real follow-up by the news or even opponents, so didn’t give it much thought.

Osama’s father had 20 wives. You can probably find a niece or nephew to fit every occasion.

It’s always nice to know that relatives of horrible terrorists endorse you for President.
And White nationalists, you know just them good ole homegrown radicals.

@SQUEEKY2 Your statement makes 0 sense at all. There is absolutely no reason why people need to be compared to horrible family members. Not everyone in that family is an Islamic terrorist obviously.. I don’t give a fuck if she endorses Trump, I would say the same if she endorsed Biden. She is her own person and just because she is related to shitty people doesn’t mean anything about her. She is clearly not following that same path.

People shouldn’t be grouped in with bad family members just because they are related. I have family members that were Nazis. Does that somehow make me a bad person? No. It doesn’t. Because I am nothing like them and have 0 support for what they did. Seriously. That’s not a valid point/statement to try and make at all.

Yep. As I recall Osama bin Ladin has something like 50 siblings. The number of nieces and nephews must be in the high hundreds, if not in the thousands.

@SergeantQueen Good point. I admit that did not even occur to me, but thank you for bringing that up. Kudos
