Trump’s questionable answer when asked if he’ll attend funeral of Sarah Beckstrom

He continued: “These are great people… but I haven’t given it any thought.”

Trump’s decision to boast about his popularity in West Virginia didn’t sit well with many. According to The Mirror, several reporters in the room visibly reacted the moment he made the remark.

Back in Beckstrom’s hometown of Webster Springs, West Virginia, the local Veterans of Foreign Wars post announced prayer vigils for the fallen soldier.

Their statement read: “Our hearts are absolutely broken to share that Sarah has passed away from the injuries she sustained in the D.C. attack. There are no words big enough for this loss… We will still be gathering for the community vigils—now to honor Sarah’s memory, to lift up her family, and to pray for the other service member who remains injured.”

Community members have been encouraged to wear blue ribbons — Beckstrom’s symbolic color of honor and service.

Funeral details for Specialist Beckstrom have not yet been released.
