President Donald Trump sparked outrage after posting a 'I'm glad' message on Truth Social following the death of former FBI chief Robert Mueller. The 79-year-old's comment irked some social media users, but right-wing commentators, including Laura Loomer, stood by the remark.
Mueller, who documented Russia's interference in the 2016 US election and its contacts with Donald Trump's campaign, died at 81. Trump's comment came after The New York Times cited the Mueller family to report about his passing.
Right-wing commentators, including Laura Loomer, defended Trump's statement, with Loomer writing, 'President Trump says what everyone is thinking. He's right. We shouldn't be sad when bad people die.'
However, some social media users, including Democratic commentators, condemned Trump's reaction, with one user tweeting, 'I expect every Republican who was outraged at people for celebrating Charlie Kirk's death to immediately condemn Trump for saying "I'm glad he's dead" about Robert Mueller.'
