The father of an alleged drunk driver who hit and killed a bride on her wedding night gave his daughter the greatest five words of advice after she realized she was likely going to prison.

Reports published by the Post and Courier suggest that 25-year-old Jamie Lee Komoroski felt more remorse and frustration over how her actions have hurt her own future than she did for the victims of her alleged actions.

Komoroski stands accused of plowing her Toyota Camry into a golf cart carrying newlywed Samantha Miller, Miller’s new husband and two others. Miller died in the middle of her road in her wedding dress. Her new husband didn’t find out his new bride was dead until he regained consciousness the following day.

The Coastal Carolina grad had a blood alcohol content of .26, three times the legal limit, when she allegedly killed Miller. She was also traveling at 65 mph in a 25 mph zone.

Her actions landed her in Charleston County Jail in April, and she didn’t take it well. “I can’t believe this is my life … and my whole life is going to be over,” she sobbed to her family in recorded conversations. “Oh my God. I just can’t believe this happened to me. … Why me? … I’m going to be here for years and years and years and years,” she told her parents.

Her father on the other hand? Well, he gave her the best advice ever. “Suck it up,” and “get tough,” the man told his daughter.

Other conversations, however, suggest that her parents might be to blame for Komoroski’s apparent attitude. “You don’t need to be sorry, Jamie, this is what happened and we’re going to take care of it. There’s no being sorry about it,” her father said during one call. “We don’t care about what happened. We don’t care. We care only about you.”

I understand the concept of unconditional love and supporting your family members, but telling her that they don’t care about what happened? That’s a great way to warp any child’s sense of reality.

And with Komoroski claiming that the fatal crash was just a “freak accident” and that she probably won’t serve any jail time for it … yeah, it sounds like her sense of reality might be a little warped. (RELATED: Man Receives Life Sentence Over DWI)

Even with her family’s ties to local Sheriff Kristin Graziano, who Komoroski claims is giving her special privileges within the system, it feels unlikely that she’ll walk away without serving time. If she doesn’t sprend at least a few years in jail, then law and order clearly doesn’t exist in Charleston County, South Carolina.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
