Legal expert and victims’ advocate Nancy Grace spoke out on Fox News Media’s Hang Out with Sean Hannity on Tuesday, talking about her experience with crime and how it shapes families.
“I tell them [the victims] that I will never ever forget the one that they love and I will do anything and everything I can to help them,” Grace said.
“These stories are real, and these people are real, and their suffering is real.”
Hannity cited President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address in February.
Trump told congressional members to stand if they agreed that the “first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens,” which prompted cheers from Republicans and silence from many Democrats.
Trump said, “Isn’t that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself for not standing up.”
“It was very hurtful to me as a crime victim that politics were more important to those people that did not stand. That was hurtful, and it angered me,” Grace said. “How could you not care? How could you not stand and show your support, your heart, to people that have suffered so much?”

In 1979, a man who worked with Grace’s fiancé, Keith Griffin, was fatally shot. She told Fox News, “Keith’s life ended, and my life exploded.”
Her experience made the State of the Union personal.
“Politics aside, I was stunned that they couldn’t stand for that.”
