Ugh!

Ex-congressman, Joe Walsh has reared his not so kind head yet again.

Friday morning, Walsh blasted the first lady for traveling to her hometown of Chicago to attend slain 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton‘s funeral.

On Twitter he posted:

Really?!

News of the murder of Hadiya Pendleton struck a chord with many across the nation as the Chicago teen was innocently killed just a week after she performed at the Presidential Inauguration.

Huffington Post reports:

Thursday, a White House official said Michelle Obama would attend the funeral, along with senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn will also attend the funeral.

“As a mother and Chicagoan, the first lady was heartbroken to learn of the tragic loss of Hadiya Pendleton due to senseless gun violence,” Kristina Schake, Michelle Obama communications director, told the Tribune Thursday.

The site also reports:

Walsh’s criticism of the first lady attending the Pendleton service is not the first time the Tea Party favorite has lashed out on the topic of Chicago violence following a headline-grabbing tragedy. Last spring, after the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin inspired Walsh’s then-congressional colleague Bobby Rush to don a hoodie on the House floor, Walsh said he hoped Rush would “be as outraged with all of the black on black crime going on in the city of Chicago weekend after weekend” as he was with Martin’s death.

Can’t win for losing with this guy.

Either way we are very proud of Michelle Obama’s decision to attend the funeral and our prayers and condolences are with the Pendleton family on this difficult day.
