Epoch Times:
The brother of a couple who was fatally shot in El Paso, Texas, over the weekend has defended a photo the president and first lady took with the couple’s 2-month-old orphan during their visit to an El Paso hospital on Aug. 7.
The photo in question, which was shared on Melania Trump’s Twitter account on Aug. 8, shows the first lady holding the infant while President Donald Trump stood next to her with a smile and thumbs up. The post was captioned: “I met many incredible people in Dayton, Ohio & El Paso, Texas yesterday. Their communities are strong and unbreakable. @potus and I stand with you!”
The post garnered extensive attention as well as anger from people who called Trump’s facial expression and thumbs-up inappropriate, and declaring the event was used as a “photo-op.”
Now Tito Anchondo, the orphan’s uncle, has spoken out, telling The Washington Post that he hopes people will stop politicizing his family’s tragedy. He said that he chose to take his nephew to the University Medical Center to meet with the president and the first lady.
Anchondo, whose brother and sister-in-law, Andre and Jordan Anchondo, lost their lives as a result of the El Paso massacre, said he wanted to tell Trump about his family’s grievous pain, according to the outlet.
“He was just there as a human being, consoling us and giving his condolences,” he said.
He said he didn’t believe Trump was at the hospital to push any political agenda, adding that it was just “a private conversation between human beings.” Anchondo told the outlet he felt consoled after the conversation he had with the president but did not go into details as to what was discussed.
Anchondo told NPR in a separate interview that his family is Republican conservatives and his brother was supportive of Trump. more here

…You’ll notice that Democrats only like minorities that toe the line. They get VERY angry if one DOESN’T, almost like they don’t like slave revolts, or something….
Seriously, now who is adding to this family’s grief?
Melania holding that precious baby and Trump smiling, thumb up?
OR, the haters tweeting and spreading the photo, without an ounce of compassion for the family, just to inflame the Resistance?
Trump is a one-man psy-op machine!
By the way, Is Melania just getting better looking or what?
