I don't think you are in a position to make that judgement against him. Do you know any of the background on it?
He didn't make a scence, he put her in her place and deservedly so.
And you don't know anything about his background of his mother do you. Yet you are willing to assign these things to him. His mother, having lived through the Nazi oppression had hid the fact that she came from a Jewish family, she had converted as a child. Some reporter, for unknown reasons, went looking into it and wrote a story. His mother was highly upset about it and he was trying to protect her. He had promised her he would not discuss it. Then this reporter brings it up in a national setting. He had every right to be upset about it.
Why was it even asked?
From Wolf Blitzers show yesterday
ALLEN: That's true, and she shared that with me.
Wolf, this is more than any sort of political campaign. This is so personal. To think that a person 70 years, 60 years since the Nazis is still having that pain in her, it's still paining her; she still lives in fear of that intimidation, that bigotry, that prejudice, that anti-Semitism, still is fearful in my mother.
And to see her hurt and to think that there are millions of others, and that we're hurt by this as well, that the person you love is still in fear and worrying, and that she's hid this all these years, and she was worried that her friends wouldn't like her, if they found this out.
And I just told her, ma, it doesn't matter. We love you for who you are. You're our spirit of the family. You're the essence.
