Father of slain Navy SEAL criticizes White House over son's death, calls for an investigation

[Miles Archer]

Washington (CNN)Bill Owens, the father of the Navy SEAL killed in a late-January raid in Yemen, leveled biting criticism at the White House and called for an investigation into his son's death in a news story published Sunday.

Owens told The Miami Herald that as his son William "Ryan" Owens' body made it to Dover Air Force Base outside Washington, he was told President Donald Trump was coming to meet him and his wife to pay his respects.

But Owens told the chaplain he didn't want to see the commander-in-chief.

"I told them I didn't want to make a scene about it, but my conscience wouldn't let me talk to him," Owens told the newspaper.

1. I remember that day when Traitor Trump boarded Marine One with his 1st Lady Ivanka to go meet them

We never did hear about the meeting....only his quick version of that "touching moment" he went to pay respects for the official first casualty of his Presidency.

2. Looks like drumpf and his administration are the focus of a new investigation every week.

This is all on the deplorables for being so GD naive.

5. we've been saying this was a disaster since it happened

and trump has been given a pass on this. The Seal and many civilians died because he gave the go ahead without all the information and he was TWEETING while the soldier was dying for nothing.

6. It is amazing that this tragic event has gotten such little attention, especially after years

and years of dishonest inquiries concerning Benghazi.
