'Sick individual': Conservatives bury Trump for attacks on deployed service member

Donald Trump on Saturday slammed Nikki Haley's husband, saying, "Where's her husband? He's away. He's away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He's gone."

The former president made the comments at a South Carolina rally. CNN pointed out the hypocrisy of the comments, considering Melania Trump doesn't campaign by his side.

Trump asked where Haley's husband is, but it turns out that where he is, is deployed fighting for his country. And the internet was quick to point that out.

Conservative commentator Guy Benson said, "Her husband is currently deployed abroad, serving in the United States Armed Forces."

"This is low, gratuitous and gross," he added Saturday. "Don’t defend this."

Don Bolduc, a former Republican Senate candidate, said, "Only a sick individual would put down a service member who is deployed. This disrespects every military family in our country. It’s exactly the chaos we don’t need in America."

Haley herself had this to say:

"Michael is deployed serving our country, something you know nothing about. Someone who continually disrespects the sacrifices of military families has no business being commander in chief."

S.V. Dáte, White House correspondent at HuffPost, also chimed in Saturday:

"Her husband is deployed overseas in the military. Periodically it’s good to remember that apart from all the unhinged lying and the self-dealing corruption and the disdain for democracy, Trump is at his core a terrible human being."
