President Donald Trump responded to a question about whether he will attend the funeral of a National Guard member killed in Washington, D.C., by bragging about his electoral success in her home state.

Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, was fatally shot just blocks from the White House. Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, was also shot and is in critical condition.

Asked Thursday if he plans to attend Beckstrom’s funeral, Trump said he “hadn’t given it any thought, but it sounds like something I could do.”

“I love West Virginia,” he said from his Mar-a-Lago resort of Beckstrom’s home state. “You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere. These are great people. I love the people of West Virginia.”
