Suggests late Rep. John Dingell is "looking up" from hell at rally on the day of his impeachment
During a campaign rally in Battle Creek, Michigan, held the same evening the House voted to impeach him, Trump recounted thanking Rep. Debbie Dingell for the funeral honors given to her late husband, longtime Rep. John Dingell, and quoted her as saying he was "looking down." Trump responded, "Maybe he's looking up, I don't know," a remark widely understood to suggest the late congressman was in hell. Debbie Dingell, who had voted to impeach Trump that day, said publicly that his words made her grief "much harder" during her first holiday season without her husband. The comment drew bipartisan criticism and exemplifies a documented pattern of vicious personal attacks extending to the dead and the bereaved.
