White House chief of staff John Kelly lashed out at Rep Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) on Thursday, saying he was "stunned" by her negative description of President Trump's call to the wife of a U.S. soldier “I was stunned when I came to work yesterday morning,” he told reporters during an impromptu appearance at the White House press briefing, adding he was “broken hearted” over the negative publicity surrounding the call.

“You know when I was a kid growing up a lot of things were sacred in our country. Women were sacred, looked upon with great honor. That’s obviously not the case anymore as we see from recent cases. Life, the dignity of life, was sacred. Religion, that seems to be gone as well. Gold star families, I think that left in the convention over the summer. I just thought the selfless devotion that brings a man or a woman to die on the battlefield, I just thought that might be sacred.”

Kelly went on to say that he told the president what Kelly’s friend Marine Gen. Joe Dunford told him when Kelly’s own son died.

“He said, ‘Kel, he was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed. He knew what he was getting into by joining… that 1 percent. He knew what the possibilities were, because we’re at war. And when he died… he was surrounded by the best men on this earth, his friends. That’s what the president tried to say to four families the other day.”

Wow. This is must watch video. General Kelly talks about American heroes in a way that only the father of an American hero, and a hero himself, can express.

This act of war by a Rabid Liberal on Trump is reprehensible.

Funny you should name Anderson Cooper. You may want to check out a certain General’s twitter account.

I'm trying to piece this together. It sounds like the Representative was present when the very personal call was made, and she fed it to the grieving mother that the words President Trump spoke were "disrespectful".

I cannot imagine anyone making commentary on words of sympathy spoken in times of grief. It just isn't a time to be grading the words; it's the emotion that the grieving person is focused on.

Watched it twice. A powerful slam at the lefts entire philosophy of degrading what we hold sacred in this country.
