Here’s Mary Katharine Ham with some advice to Dems on Carryn Owens, the wife of Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens who was killed during a raid in Yemen last month and honored by President Trump at last night’s joint address to Congress:
For those lamenting Carryn Owens' "exploitation," let me offer some thoughts. I'm not asking you to like Trump or credit him for that moment

But what you can & should do is credit her. Maybe a SEAL wife who's been through, God willing, worst life will give her, can handle Trump.

Maybe a SEAL wife knows exactly what she's doing & doesn't need you to explain it to her. Maybe she needs things you don't know much about.

Maybe a widow raising 3 children knows how important it is to keep his name & memory alive, & that this moment is bigger than Trump or you.

Maybe she knows one day she will show them this video & tell them the President of the United States & all the nation honored him.

Maybe she thinks it might teach her children the strength & courage of their dad (& mom!) to watch her stand up tall even when it hurts.

Maybe all that is more important than your angst about which president is involved & how. Just bc she's crying doesn't mean she's a victim.

Maybe, probably, very likely, she's a badass. You and your kids are in my prayers, Carryn. Do what you gotta do. Proverbs 31:25

Good advice, but by all indications it looks like they’re not going to listen to Mary Katharine.
