'He's Lying': Trump Never Offered Condolences To Brooklyn Dad Of Slain Soldier, Report Says

CANARSIE, BROOKLYN — The father of a soldier killed in Iraq is outraged President Donald Trump claimed to have offered condolences he never gave, according to reports.

Uvince Brooks, 58, the father of Army Sgt. Roshain Brooks, blasted Trump for saying he had contacted every family who lost a relative serving in the armed forces, the Daily News reported.

“He’s lying. He didn’t contact us,” said Brooks, whose son died in an artillery blast “mishap” on Aug 13. “Nobody from the White House cares about my family and our grief.”

Trump made his controversial assertion in Fox News radio interview on Tuesday, after news broke that he told army widow Myeshia Johnson that her husband, Sgt. La David T. Johnson, who had recently been killed in action in Niger, “knew what he signed up for."

"They're just a bunch of fakers," Trump said of reports claiming he his behavior toward military family members was insensitive. He continued to boast to Brian Kilmeade, “I think I've called every family of somebody that's died."

But several family members have since come forward to disprove the president’s claim.

After Sheila Murphy’s son died in an armored vehicle accident in Syria, she waited months for Trump to contact her. She even wrote Trump a letter, which he never responded to, saying, "Some days I don't want to live."

And Brittany Harris, the pregnant widow of Army Spc. Christopher Michael Harris, who was killed in Afghanistan, told the Associated Press the president scheduled a call that later “fell through.”

Brooks added his name to the growing list on Wednesday. The Canarsie handyman told the Daily News he and his wife have spent many sleepless nights grieving for their son, who Brooks called his hero.

“He was everything to me,” Brooks said of his son, who also served in Afghanistan in 2014. “Losing him was almost like losing myself.”

Brooks extended his condolences to other grieving military families, whom he believes have been “disrespected” by the president’s recent claims.

“He’s a damn disgrace," said Brooks. "To hear [Trump] coming out, lying like that, it makes it even worse.”
