Sarah Beckstrom, one of the national guard troops shot in Washington DC on Wednesday, has died, Donald Trump said on Thursday.
Beckstrom, 20, was one of two members of the national guards shot near the White House in a targeted attack. The other member, Andrew Wolfe, 24, is still fighting for his life, according to the president.
Beckstrom’s father had told the New York Times in a phone call earlier in the day that his daughter was unlikely to recover. “I’m holding her hand right now,” Gary Beckstrom said. “She has a mortal wound. It’s not going to be a recovery.”
Both Beckstrom and Wolfe belonged to the West Virginia National Guard, which deployed hundreds of troops to Washington as part of Trump’s crime-fighting mission in the capital.
Trump should be put to trail for this. Their blood is on his hands.
Put it on the list of his thousands of crimes
Nah, it’s Biden’s fault. Everything that’s happens now is Biden’s fault. Everything that happened during a Trump’s presidency is Biden’s fault.
they are already doing that by spreading “he came to us during biden administration”.
he worked for us occupation forces in afghanistan and when they withdrew, they let people who worked for them to come to us to prevent them being executed on the spot by taliban. guess which master of deals fucked up the whole withdrawal process?
I’m not sure if I would want people that help occupying forces attack their own country to come to my country. It’s a very iffy situation 100% created by the warmongering neoliberals in the GOP and DNC.
Maybe our country shouldn’t send those occupying forces next time then, but we did this time, and now the only decent thing for us to do is stand by the people our scumbag leaders put on the front lines of their foreign policy choices
