Arnold Palmer's daughter, Peg Palmer Wears, responded to Donald Trump's recent comments about her father in a recent interview with The Associated Press. Trump made references to Arnold Palmer's appearance in the showers during a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where Palmer was born and raised.
Wears described Trump's remarks as a 'poor choice of approaches' to honoring her father's memory but stated that she was not upset by the comments. She acknowledged that her father and Trump shared a mutual interest in golf and a love for the sport.
Arnold Palmer, who passed away in 2016 at the age of 87, was known for his belief in the Republican Party. Wears mentioned that her father was a quintessential American who fervently believed in the country, even when he questioned its direction.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and Gov. Chris Sununu both expressed disapproval of Trump's comments, with Sununu stating that the remarks would not influence voters' decisions. However, Sen. Bernie Sanders criticized Trump for focusing on trivial matters instead of important issues facing the country.
Wears, who identified as an 'unaffiliated' voter, shared that she would be casting her ballot in North Carolina, a crucial state in the upcoming election. She emphasized the importance of voters making informed decisions based on their own judgment and awareness.
The reactions to Trump's remarks highlight the diverse perspectives on his behavior and its potential impact on the election. As the election approaches, individuals like Wears are urging voters to consider the broader issues at stake and make their choices accordingly.
