Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) said President Trump’s White House is “full of white supremacists” in a new interview Friday.
“The White House itself is full of white supremacists,” she told The New York Times.
It is the latest response in a four-day controversy over Trump's response to military families who have lost a loved one. Wilson earlier this week described a phone conversation she was listening in on between Trump and the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed in Niger. The White House later accused Wilson of politicizing a "sacred" issue.
Wilson's interview is not the first time a critic has suggested racial bias plays a role in the controversy, although the congresswoman did not get more specific.
Wilson said she feels “very sorry” for White House chief of staff John Kelly after Kelly accused her of using a speech during a 2015 dedication of a new FBI building to take credit for securing the building’s funding.
“I feel very sorry for him because he feels such a need to lie on me and I’m not even his enemy,” Wilson told the newspaper. “I just can’t even imagine why he would fabricate something like that. That is absolutely insane. I’m just flabbergasted because it’s very easy to trace.”
Kelly called Wilson an “empty barrel” on Thursday in a rare appearance in the White House briefing room and criticized her for her speech at the 2015 event.
But video released Friday appears to show that Kelly was incorrect in his remarks about Wilson.
The White House defended Kelly on Friday, with White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders calling it “highly inappropriate” to criticize Kelly because of his record of military service.
"If you want to go after Gen. Kelly, that's up to you, but I think if you want to get into a debate with a four-star Marine general, I think that's something highly inappropriate,” Sanders said in a White House press briefing.
Wilson accused the White House of trying to “assassinate [her] character.”
“They are assassinating their own because everything they say is coming out and shown to be a lie,” she told the newspaper.
Deranged, stupid, oblivious and pig ignorant is a really nasty way to go through life but produces an ideal Democrat politician.
Well anything we can correctly label this guy is racist. But we can still use the term BULLY
There goes my salmon dinner.
This moron has no character. How can it be insulted? What an absolute mess she is.
Says the black racist.
The Democratic Party sure is full of top intellectuals.
Time for DJT’s black supporters to get in this failure’s face. Bigly.
I want to know how Rep. Frederica Wilson was able to overhear Trump’s conversation with the widow.
keep talking, dear. every syllable that comes out of your mouth is an attack ad for the republicans. we need to get dems on the record as supporting or condemning this whack job.
either way, it’s a win.
That is a whole lot better than what you are full of.
She is a moron and a complete disgrace. To those who voted for her, to the nation, to anyone with a bit of intelligence.
I wish the rodeo clown from floriduh would shut up and crawl back under the cow pie she came from.
Her belfry is full of bats.
Obama’s WH was mainly blacks. I guess it was full of black supremists?
Good question.
I can’t find out how, exactly. It might have to do with someone in the soldiers family that live in the same district as Rep. Wilson. Whether Wilson instigated a request to the family to listen when and if a the call would come, or a family member tipped her off is unknown at this point, at least to me. Wilson listened to the call in her limo. I would hate to think that someone in the White House got her connected.
Stupid and Stupider?
And your office is filled with BLM groups, *itch!!
WATAH BUFFALO says what???
