The last thing Morey is is uneducated. There was absolutely nothing wrong with his statement. It was the right thing to say. Maybe the timing was off but at least he want concerning himself with $ one the value of human lives.

LeBraun does not know what HE is talking about. He needs some education on what China has been and is being.

We have the freedom to bash @realDonaldTrump but not atrocities of those who will pay us big $$ – that’s what it boils down to @KingJames
