Former Navy SEAL Congressman: I’m ‘Embarrassed’ and ‘Disgusted’ By Frederica Wilson’s Behavior
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 10/20/17 | Jack Heretick

Posted on 10/20/2017 6:45:21 AM PDT by markomalley

Rep. Scott Taylor (R., Va.) said that he was "embarrassed" and "disgusted" Friday by Rep. Frederica Wilson's (D., Fla.) comments criticizing President Donald Trump and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly over Trump's phone call toward a military widow from her district.

CNN host Chris Cuomo asked Taylor for his opinion on the ongoing feud between Wilson and the White House. Wilson has charged Trump acted callously in his phone conversation this week with Myeshia Johnson, the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, who was recently killed in Niger alongside three other American soldiers.

Kelly said he was "stunned" by Wilson on Thursday for revealing the details of a "sacred" conversation and called her an "empty barrel," and Trump has said she has mischaracterized his remarks.

Taylor, a former Navy SEAL who lost friends in war, blasted Wilson for her comments in a CNN interview shortly before his, where she continued to blast the White House.

"I will tell you that the notion that the president of the United States was calling a family with any intent to be callous or anything like that is ridiculous and that's offensive as well too," Taylor said. "This is the commander-in-chief. You may not like that he's the commander-in-chief, but this is the commander-in-chief calling a family."

Taylor said he wished Wilson would instead protect the family of the soldier killed in Niger from the media instead of constantly doing interviews.

"I listened to her interview and I'm embarrassed quite frankly," Taylor said. "I'm completely embarrassed by the behavior."

"I just find this … I'm disgusted by it, I really am," Taylor added.

“”You mean to tell me that I’ve become so important that the White House is following me and my words?” she said laughing. “This is amazing. That’s amazing. I’ll have to tell my kids that I’m a rockstar now.””

I have to ask, what is the deal with her headwear?

Her pathetic attempt to establish a "brand".

Her insane comments of now being a "rock star" (what a vile cretin) over the media making her a darling in her mendacity brings to mind the wonderful Texas saying, "all hat, no cattle"

In Freddies case it's...

All hat, one cow, no brains

All rock, no star

Dumb hats, all prattle

Ryan should immediately schedule a vote to censure Rep. Wilson.


But that would be “racist”.

They are self deluded, they are not actually sick.

I used to have a neighbor who kept a record of all them service men/women who died in wars during Bush2 years, as deaths continued in those wars under obama I asked him about some who died, he said he wasn’t keeping track anymore life got busy, more important things to do. I took it as keeping track only served to keep his hate for political folks he didn’t like. LOL

Rep. Frederica Wilson's (D., Fla.)

Rep., short for “reprehensible” or “reptilian”.

Former military heroes who become Republican representatives are racist to the bone.....

You mean the "R" after a politician's name is for "Republican"? Here I thought the "R" stood for "Racist".

Live and learn...

He’ll be called racist if he does.. He’s a coward anyway.. Plus he hates President Trump, so he won’t.
