No wonder MTG would deny their death, their very existence. She is a vile racist anti Semite.
The GOP people that live in her district must be professional dirtbags.
I won’t forget the loss of these three children. Truth LIVES.

Bernard was described by his mum as a little boy who ‘lived to go to school’.
It was the 11-year-old’s love of learning that saw him heading out of his hometown of Washington D.C. on an adventure to the Channel Islands Marine Sanctuary off the coast of California, with a group of teachers and two other students.
Bernard was renowned for his spelling, drawing, and ‘zest’ for living.
Out golfing for the day, Bernard’s father, a Navy chief petty officer who worked in the Pentagon, had talked to his son about the fear he had about flying in preparation for his flight to California.
‘To be honest, we talked about death,’ Bernard Sr. told NBC. ‘I just told him, “Don’t be afraid. Just listen to what the people tell you, and the instructions. You’ll be all right; you’ll be fine.” He said, “Daddy, I’m scared,” and I said, “Hey, don’t be scared; don’t be afraid to die. Because we are all going to die someday.”’
Little did he know it would be one of the last conversations he would have with his beloved son, who was on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 am.
Asia was on the same plane as Bernard Brown. It was a dream trip for the smiley, eager-to-learn sixth grader. The 11-year-old had just started at a new school, Bertie Backus Middle School, in Northeast Washington.
Her father, Clifton Cottom, helped to coach basketball, patrolled the halls, and worked as a book clerk in the school same school.
Clifton told a news outlet his daughter was a ‘charmer who was trying hard to grow up,’ and that she dreamt of becoming a pediatrician. She loved jumping rope and her mother, Michelle Cottom, remembered her daughter loving ‘Tweety gear.’
Staff at the school described Asia as a kind-hearted kid, who helped other students with learning difficulties. Neighbours remembered how Asia greeted them when she was playing outside her house with her younger brother.
The day after the hijacking, one of Asia’s teachers attempted to talk to the class about what had happened: ‘We are missing someone today. Do you know who that is?’ she asked. Some of the children replied. ‘Yes,’ they said. ‘Asia.’
The last of the three children chosen to participate in the trip to study ecology in California beside National Geographic Society researchers, Rodney accompanied Bernard and Asia on the trip of a lifetime. It was the first time he had ever been on a plane.
One of Rodney’s classmates at Ketcham Elementary School remembered him as a kind kid ‘who loved Pokémon’ and ‘helped other people with their homework if they didn’t understand it.’
Even though Rodney, who was 11, grew up in a dangerous Washington neighbourhood alongside his two brothers and two sisters, he always made the honour roll at school.
His mother, LaShawn, was a single parent who was raising her children with the help of her extended family, and she encouraged her beloved son to always try and be a role model to his siblings.
Rodney loved reading, playing on the computer, and spending time with his brothers and sisters, but his aunt, Cynthia Dickens, said his favourite thing to do was watch professional wrestling on TV.
