Trump attacks on Dingell reveal low behavior in crisis
Brian Dickerson argues that Donald Trump’s live televised assault on the late John Dingell and his grieving widow Debbie Dingell exposes a pattern of demeaning conduct. He ties the incident to broader impeachment discourse, noting bipartisan calls for apology and contrasting Trump’s actions with dignified tributes while condemning the president’s insinuations as unworthy and divisive.
