Brett Eagleson, whose father was killed on 9/11, is leading a ‘family protest’ outside of Donald Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where Trump is hosting a LIV Saudi-backed golf tournament.
While Trump has publicly and privately dismissed human rights concerns about the Saudi kingdom families who lost loved ones on 9/11 are outraged.
“Trump was a disappointment as a sitting president, and he’s a bigger disappointment now as a former president,” said Terry Strada, national chair of 9/11 Families United, whose husband, Tom, worked in the North Tower during the attacks. “He knows more than anybody the level of depravity of the kingdom, and he knows — he’s a New Yorker — he knows how families were affected by the attacks. Seven hundred and fifty people were lost in New Jersey. It’s right in our backyard and just, what, six weeks before the anniversary? It’s just beyond insulting.”
