Trump Campaign Official Mocked Joe Biden For Visiting Graves Of Late Family Members

President Donald Trump’s campaign is coming under criticism after one of its senior staffers on Sunday mocked Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for “meandering” through a cemetery. Biden was visiting the graves of his late son, Beau Biden, and his first wife, Neilia Biden, and daughter, Naomi Biden.

Beau Biden died of brain cancer in 2015; Neilia and Naomi Biden were killed in a car accident in 1972.

Francis Brennan, the Trump campaign’s director of strategic response, tweeted:

REPORTER: "Mr. Vice President come talk to us."

Joe Biden just keeps meandering along. pic.twitter.com/6tnNQj2Ucg

The former vice president had just come from St. Joseph on the Brandywine church in Wilmington, Delaware, and was walking on a path through the cemetery. Trump was playing golf at roughly the same time.

The incident came days after it was reported that Trump didn’t want to visit the graves of fallen U.S. soldiers in France, calling them “losers” and “suckers.”

Brennan was roundly criticized on Twitter for the callous message:

Meet Trump campaign Director of Strategic Response @FrancisBrennan mocking Joe Biden for visiting the grave of his late son who is a US military vet. It's not just Trump- it's the entire Trump team that hates our veterans! #TrumpHatesOurVeterans https://t.co/eQYbX2iy6Y

You are a ghoul

In July, a RNC spokesman mockingly tweeted a photo of Biden and his dead son as a boy. Today, a Trump campaign spokesman mockingly tweeted a video of Biden visiting his son’s grave. pic.twitter.com/3v15U4eWe7

He's in a cemetery. You know, those places where Trump won't go?

You have no soul, Francis.

.@FrancisBrennan, like the next President @JoeBiden, I understand what it's like to go to a cemetery to visit your child. I actually do meander and focus on my personal grief and my daughter. What sub human life form are you that you would tweet this & think it was a good idea? https://t.co/XHruNFdG3h

If you had a soul, you would’ve taken this tweet down. @JoeBiden went to church, and then to his sons grave. While our troop hating president @realDonaldTrump went golfing. 200,000 dead Americans.I wish you never ending explosive diarrhea @FrancisBrennan https://t.co/f7z65Xcy6T

So much of the criticism of Biden from the Trump campaign, I look at and I can't understand who it's appealing to. Biden politely declined to talk to a reporter while at the cemetery visiting his son's grave. Which voters will dislike Biden for this? https://t.co/cNuo3XTpTN

You are a sick person who will live with the stain of enabling @realDonaldTrump for the rest of your life.
