The mother of the Green Beret killed in Africa said President Trump disrespected her son and family when the commander in chief called the soldier’s widow and said her husband ” knew what he signed up for,” according to a report on Wednesday.

“President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband,” Cowanda Jones-Johnson told the Washington Post.

She commented on the controversy that exploded after Rep. Frederica Wilson said she was in the car with the widow of Army Sgt. La David T. Johnson when Trump called and told her that the soldier “knew what he signed up for … but when it happens, it hurts anyway.”

Wilson, a Florida Democrat, said Myeshia Johnson began sobbing during the phone call as the family headed to Miami International Airport on Tuesday afternoon to meet the soldier’s casket.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Trump blasted Wilson for making up the story and said he has “proof.”

“Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof). Sad!” Trump wrote on the social messaging site.

Asked whether Wilson’s account of the conversation between Trump and the widow was accurate, she said, “Yes,” the newspaper reported.

Problem is the guy didn’t sign up for combat. He signed up for free education, possible career, see the world, and all of the perks recruiters tell them about. Probably didn’t dawn on him that he might be in combat in some third world crappy country.

A Green Beret didn't sign up for combat?

Blacks can get away with anything. They can desecrate our flag and our anthem in front of millions and for the billionaires and corporations that are sustaining 100s of millions of dollars of losses there is nary a whisper. They can disrespect The President of The United States after receiving the honor of personal phone call. Welcome to pc hell.
