California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office has slammed President Trump, calling him “deeply SICK and DISGUSTING” after an email was sent to supporters that appeared to fundraise off images of fallen soldiers. The email, which offered recipients a chance to become a “National Security Briefing Member,” featured a photo of Trump from his recent visit to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where he honored troops killed in the ongoing Iran war.
This latest development comes at a truly sensitive moment in the U.S.-Iran conflict, which has already seen American military and civilian casualties, rising oil prices, and heightened tensions across the Middle East. The remains of service members killed in the conflict arrived back in the U.S. on Saturday, with Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attending the solemn ceremony.
