“Due to my wife’s death, we can’t stop the activities of the entire nation and make it clear that serving the president and nation is his priority.” Later, he said, “he doesn’t want anything, then go behind this podium and cry, but he can’t do it.”
“Why? Because he is a grown man and has a job to do.” he also shared that in the same car accident in which his wife died, his two kids were also in that car.
