But he could have: If Trump had shown up to Diego’s dignified transfer, I might have been more open to him. I was a member of my college’s student Republicans group and volunteered for Mitt Romney in 2012, though I was never a Trump fan. I might nonetheless have considered what he says now if I had seen any concern for my partner.
It’s unpleasant to give your life for your country. It’s also unpleasant for families to plan a funeral reception 3,000 miles away from home. It’s unpleasant to take responsibility sometimes. He managed the military tightrope of being both a good follower and a challenger; he came home from work more than once fired up about the reactions of various senior officers to his objections. He made remarkable efforts to balance the demands of being active duty Marine with being an attentive and hands-on dad, eager to give his daughter every material advantage he could afford.
THINK Too scared his hair and makeup would get messed up, captain bone spurs doesn't show up to honor the fallen. AGAIN.
THINK
THINK Thank you for your service and I honor the service and sacrifice of your partner.
THINK
THINK Still pushing the fake story line . NBC has zero cred.
THINK More lies
THINK This is such a pathetic, disgusting article. The fake news media creates a fake story based on anonymous sources and then they create sub-stories based on that fake news story.
THINK All based on lies and misleading information. Your Diego mattered but it is the news networks who dont care about Diego or any member of the military
THINK My Deepest Regard & Condolences For Your Fallen Friend. For Most Americans, He & All Our Fallen Are Heroes & Deserve Our Utmost Respect & Regard Especially From The Military Commander & Chief Of Any Nation-Period. I Thank You For Your Serve & Dedication To Americans & Our Values
THINK Boy she seems pretty full of herself don't she?
THINK
THINK This is so Fake is laughable
THINK Kelsey Baker should have followed the news media and weather for that day before making a false comment?
THINK Google her. She’s a kook.
tomwatson THINK 💔🙏🏼✊🏼
THINK Really? The story's been debunked 10 ways to Sunday, yet you keep at it. And then you wonder why nobody trusts the media anymore.
THINK Posted ad nauseam for DAYS. Let it GO.
THINK The people that voted for him are either racists or complete idiots because he told you who he was LONG AGO. You chose not to listen!
THINK Do you report news anymore, or just anti-Trump propaganda?
THINK Duh! America has a low iq buffoon for president! The worldbis laughing at us and we deserve it
THINK Ironically any American that died in Iraq was a sucker.
THINK thats sad sorry to hear that
MalcolmNance THINK Trump has no empathy. Someone else serving or sacrificing for no personal gain is something so foreign to him that he just can not comprehend it.
THINK You know that story is bunk. Give it up.
THINK Fake news get the facts first lady
THINK trumpTraitor penceTraitor GOPTraitors TRE45ON
THINK FakeNewsMedia FakeNewsAlert FakeNewsMediaClowns fakenews
THINK He never said that, Karen
THINK
THINK I don't believe this story.
THINK So I see that you are still pushing this lie that even the editor of the Atlantic admitted was mostly made up. I really wish you all were held accountable for the lies you spread
THINK NBC FAKE NEWS We already know that the stories you are airing about our President are lies. Eventually you will get so many lawsuits you will go bankrupt. Americans Lawyers are looking for work and you will be seeing them in court. You liars!
MalcolmNance THINK Trump is a true psychopath who does not function in the real world. He does not recognize the real world of empathy, tolerance and respect. His primary goal is to win at any cost and the end always justifies the means. Vote Biden/Harris to save our Democracy. ✌️😷✌️
THINK Blah Blah Blah
THINK Another NBC hit piece.....I know it’s difficult guys, but try and at least pretend your somewhat only left leaning and not fully up Biden’s azz!!
MalcolmNance THINK All public service should stem from a sense of duty, and never be driven by a desire for power.
THINK This is BS, NBC is serious FakeNews .
THINK Trump never said that if he did it would have come out right away ! The Atlantic Magazine made a false statement and it was proven so.
THINK Posted 10x already. How much is ENOUGH?
THINK Reported for extremely false narrative
THINK MAGA?
THINK Kelsey sure is a sucker for believing that lie.
THINK Another liberal hit piece. This story has already been debunked. Also, FYI, to Kelsey, Trump has gone to Dover many times.
THINK More vets and family need to speak out TrumpIsATraitor
THINK The Dems have no issues except for unsubstantiated smears, so their final option is a violent overthrow of the government if Trump wins
THINK You aren’t news agencies anymore, your Democrat Party shills popping our conspiracy laden hit pieces. American media and their journalistic standards are dead. You’re going to shit yourselves come November...
THINK Are you NEW to FOREX? Minimize your losses with my expert strategy with an investment capital of $300, i can guarantee $3,500 as profits after 5days of investment without sending money to anyone . Inbox me if interested.
THINK Because he hates our troops. We need to get rid of him. He's a drug addict with the nuclear codes. Think about that. 😒
THINK Trump would have called his parents, not his girlfriend.
THINK Do you really believe the President personally visits every war casualty?
THINK We all need to show both humility and gratitude for those that have everything. Everything they had and everything they could have been. As a veteran that made it back, I am grateful for their sacrifice every day. Asking a soldier to male that choice is not a trivial matter.
THINK MediaManipulation MediaLies FakeNews
THINK The Atlantic is walking back parts of the story.....just sayin.
THINK First of all Trump wants ALL of our troops home
THINK Your so called new station, doesn’t even produce news anymore. You know that the story is false, but you still print it. You are an awful biased station, who sounds more like the Enquirer everyday. False, no truths, all. It’s a shame, I used to watch.
THINK
THINK The Atlantic piece has been proven to be a lie. Anonymous sources from two years ago… ? Give me a break
THINK 'I like people that weren't captured.' With those words Trump smeared every POW who ever served. Donald called former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis “the world’s most overrated general” Donald disparaging remarks about his former chief of staff General John Kelly
THINK He’s such a pig!!
THINK Trump doesn’t care. TrumpsAmerica
THINK Well I'll be horn swoggled. This smells like horse manure being spread around the pasture.
THINK I am so very sorry! He deserved better !
THINK Yet another person stupid enough to believe the debunked Atlantic article. Every person present in that room is on record stating it never happened and many of them don't like him. But keep building your fake news cred.
THINK We already went over this NBC. Why the same Fake story. Lot's of examples like these floating around:
THINK Are you looking a for a custom, unique, typography and minimal illustrated T-shirt design? provide me your name brand/quote/text, and I will create a minimalist typography and minimal illustrated shirt design for it! Order now :
THINK Fact: Trump has been 10X more supportive of our military and veterans than Biden ever was.
THINK More nonsense from fake news!
THINK Unsourced anecdotes and coordinated lies. On at least one occasion, Trump cut short a speech to go to Dover unannounced to comfort grieving families.
THINK Well, do you really care what a coward/draft dodger thinks, or says? Your partner is a hero.
THINK More coverage needed on Nancy Pelosi suing the hair dresser that exposed her hypocrisy. Let’s talk about that
THINK It was the pandemic. I work in a Social Security Office, we shut down.
THINK Man does she have a beak on her.
THINK NBC spreads more lies and negativity than unimaginable! How the hell do you people sleep at night! Do you teach your children to lie ?
THINK Kelsey Baker didn't deserve Diego Pongo. Kelsey Baker is an idiot to believe utter BS like this. Only looking for attention.
THINK As an OEF army infantry vet, the only thing I can say we were BOTH suckers about is joining. In Afghanistan, I was guarding poppy, burning harmless cannabis fields and destabilizing for Zionist Israel
THINK Are y'all really this ignorant
THINK LOL... what a load of shit.
THINK I call bullshit on this story. At this point, even if you were telling truth, nobody would believe you.
THINK lol imagine posting this to own the orange man but hours earlier the whole story it was written around was completely debunked lol..
THINK Democrat leaders in a liberal media are desperate literally desperate so desperate that they will make up stories now and put Donald Trump on the defensive that is their motive now
THINK 🐂💩❄️
THINK Three years and many investigations later, the Dossier was proven to be a hoax, the FBI was revealed to have spied on Trump's campaign, manipulated evidence, and lied to the FISA court - and Democrats pivoted to Ukraine in their unsuccessful attempt to remove Trump from office.
THINK NBC, working overtime to discredit Trump .. is that legit journalism ?
THINK We’re no longer buying this. Move on NBC.
THINK Because he can't go to every town each time one of our boys dies in combat. Next.
THINK Diego Pongo wasn't a sucker, but Kelsey Baker is for falling for the Democrat's Atlantic hoax.
THINK Sorry You're partner would still vote Trump. Viva Trump 💯, All Latinos support you✌
THINK Election year smear campaign participation by . DesperateDemocrats posing as journalists who are really political activist. Shameful how far journalists have fallen.
THINK Trump has visited plenty of families who lost loved ones in our military. But that doesn’t fit NBC’s liberal agenda to write anything positive about him. Like anyway has time to visit every family that has lost a loved one.
THINK Trump, the ultimate draft dodger, has no business criticizing our soldiers! He is our Commander in Chief? What a joke. VoteTrumpOut2020
THINK Stop putting out these political lies. This is just pure bullshit NBC, you are quite disgusting. Change is coming, and we won't forget.
THINK
THINK NBC is a 'sabotage-America' machine.
THINK

THINK Slandering Trumphater Fakenews idiots

THINK You been Trumped
THINK
THINK The war Biden Voted for?
THINK President Scumbag thinks he’s a mobster. Remember the final scene in Godfather 2. Sonny, while angry at the Japanese, decries the new recruits as SAPS and says, “Your country ain't your blood”. I guarantee that’s where Trump’s pathetic attitude started & I guarantee he said it.
THINK
THINK Fake news alert
THINK
THINK The gov doesn't care about you or its People. Stop supporting them
THINK You haven’t seeتn anything from us just yet.
THINK Garbage!
THINK Are you NEW to FOREX? Minimize your losses with my expert strategy with an investment capital of $300, i can guarantee $3,500 as profits after 5days of investment without sending money to anyone . Inbox me if interested.
THINK Duh. Gosh, many of y'all are slow.
THINK
THINK The dark, fear media is dragging its net. That Atlantic tale has been debunked. 👮♂️🗽🇺🇸
THINK This makes no more or less sense than the peculiar article by the widower saying the opposite. Neither article is useful
THINK Stop bullshiting like this and wake up to know the fact.
THINK So very sorry. God be with you.
THINK More anti trump propoganda. These veterans seem to like him. If you cared about the truth you'd post that side of things too.
THINK Stop being a real sucker and responding to these “no source “ non truthful , obvious , pre election .. hit jobs .. everyone knows it B.S.. 💩
THINK Sheep...you believe everything libs put in front of you..

THINK Oh Kelsey I'm so sorry for your loss!! Blessings to you!!!
THINK You must know this is another attempt to discredit the president. Where is the proof? Any audio? Stop being led and start thinking. You are the loser.
THINK RealJamesWoods
THINK NBC pushes fake news. What else is new? As I recall NBC didn’t have time to cover Benghazi.
THINK NBC is giving CNN and WaPo a run for their money on being the worst “news” outlet.
THINK What the hell is the media going to do when Trump wins suicidewatch
THINK unlike you, I expect the incumbent present working for the living in stead of paying tribute to the dead soldiers amid the pandemic crisis.
THINK We all know Trump is as pro military as it gets. This is just bullshit propaganda. Post again about how the pro Trump boats sank. ABC has you beat by a few reposts.
THINK As if anyone, except stupid trump, would even think it was the fault of a military person if he or she got injured or killed in a war zone!
THINK What a disgusting leftwing propaganda. are you saying that Obama went to Dover for the retuning of every single service member corpse? Leftwing media activism has destroyed this nation.
THINK bad opinion!
THINK Did he or didn’t he? realDonaldTrump
THINK There are millions of us that would never think of those who served our country as anything less than heroes.
THINK Notice how cowards throughout history always get off by abusing their power? It's a way to feel like less of a coward I guess. I think that Presidents would be more understanding of military personnel if they too knew what it was to serve. That woud change things
THINK Is this fake news realDonaldTrump
THINK Low even for you NBC.
THINK Which is it
THINK Pander much NBC?
THINK Does the VA recognize “partners?”
THINK Let’s see. Trump’s been to Dover to greet the bodies of soldiers killed 4 times in 3 years. Obama 2 times in 8 years, 3 times if you count when he visited for Beau Biden.
THINK Lol... y’all still crying over a fake story 🙄
THINK Please. Come the hell on now.
THINK He died on March 8th, 2020...logical (not political) thinking would tell us that was a week before the country started locking down for covid. I think Trump had his hands full at that time. What a joke.
THINK This mother of a former marine thanks to you for your service and is so very sorry for your loss. 💔😢🇺🇸
THINK It is so sorry that Diego Pongo, was killed in Iraq in March. More than two month later, the pandemic has paused everything, including his funeral. And he was a Marine Raider with U.S. Marine Special Operations Command out of Camp Lejune in North Carolina.
THINK This hardly supports or corroborates the Atlantic story-although I’m curious, how many families did Obama or Biden go meet in person when the remains of their loved ones arrived?How many times did they go visit at Walter Reid?How many holidays did they spend away with the troops?
THINK my partner He's the lucky one.
THINK Trump didn’t come because his name is Diego. Pretty obvious.
THINK Biden Landslide is Coming!
THINK Hilarious.
THINK Biden was a vocal supporter of the Iraq war and voted for it. Inconvenient truth.
THINK Trump supporters when veterans are critics of Trump:
THINK Doesn't matter, your partner would still vote for Trump. Viva Trump 💯, All Latinos support you✌
THINK This is beyond blatant propaganda. You just beclown yourselves writing this shit.
THINK Hey, remember when Trump secretly flew to Afghanistan on thanksgiving to visit the troops and you guys were all talking shit about him going golfing? That was great
THINK That’s sweet of her to stand up for him
THINK Will you print mchooyah’s opinion of Biden? Robert is the guy who killed OBL.
THINK Using her husband’s death as a way to Orange Man Bad is irredeemable
THINK Awhhh
THINK LOL, blogger content.
THINK Ridiculous.
THINK This isn't news, this is called activism...holy hell...
THINK Why not ask the guy who sent him to Iraq?
THINK Zzzzzzzzz
THINK that‘s BS, always trying to find anything to bash Trump ... he loves the military
THINK keep peddling your anonymous sources
THINK WOW...
THINK We are here?
