[quote=jsteele]During the presidential campaign, Trump frequently exploited the families of some of those killed in the Benghazi attack. Now it looks like Trump is getting a dose of his own medicine as the father of the SEAL killed in Yemen refused to meet him and wants an investigation. I doubt that the Republicans will be as eager to launch multiple investigations in this case, however.

"'I'm sorry, I don't want to see him,' Owens recalled telling the chaplain who informed him that Trump was on his way from Washington. 'I told them I don't want to meet the President.'"
...

"Now, Owens cringed at the thought of having to shake the hand of the president who approved the raid in Yemen that claimed his son’s life -- an operation that he and others are now calling into question."
...

"Owens, also a military veteran, was troubled by Trump’s harsh treatment of a Gold Star family during his presidential campaign. Now Owens was a Gold Star parent, and he said he had deep reservations about the way the decision was made to launch what would be his son’s last mission."
...

"'Don't hide behind my son’s death to prevent an investigation,' said the elder Owens, pointing to Trump's sharp words directed at the mission's critics, including Sen. John McCain.

"'I want an investigation. … The government owes my son an investigation,' he said."
