Wilson demands apology from Kelly for ‘character assassination’
The Hill ^ | Rebecca Savransky

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) is calling for an apology from White House chief of staff John Kelly for "character assassination."

“Not only does he owe me an apology, but he owes an apology to the American people,” Wilson said during an appearance Sunday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy," according to The Washington Post.

She also referred to Kelly as a "puppet of the president."

The Florida Democrat called the deaths of four U.S. soldiers in Niger a "catastrophe."

ADVERTISEMENT "We had four soldiers who died. They have been buried," she said. "And we need to know why, and we need to know about the special circumstances surrounding [U.S. Army Sgt.] La David Johnson.”

The comments come amid an ongoing feud between Wilson and President Trump.

Wilson last week said she overheard a conversation between Trump and Johnson's widow. During that call, Wilson said Trump told the widow that Johnson "knew what he was getting into."

Trump denied the claim and has since taken to Twitter to blast the Democratic lawmaker as "wacky" and the "gift that keeps on giving" for the GOP.

Kelly last week gave an emotional press conference during which he railed against Wilson for sharing the contents of the call.

He said he was "stunned" that a member of Congress "would have listened in on that conversation."

"I would have thought that was sacred," he said.

Another strong independent woman exposes herself as just another snowflakey victim. Can’t take the heat, go back to the kitchen.

You know what's even more beautiful about this Trump/Kelly smackdown of Wilson?

The Left was going to let Black Lives Matter use Johnson's death as a rallying cry for black soldiers killed or injured under Trump. It was going to happen folks, that's why all the news and leftist strategists only focused on Johnson and not the other 3 men who died alongside with him.

Kelly's press conference completely put the kibosh on this and made Wilson look like a fool.

“If only she had character to assassinate.”

Perfect face for the Obamacrat party. She’s not fit to make pancakes for Gen. Kelly or anyone else for that matter. So what are we supposed to think of the ghettos that elect this kind of scum?

It’s not easy to assassinate the character of a rodeo clown.

I wonder why she never worried about the 2000 or so soldiers who died while the Ghetto Grifter was pResident?

I'm hoping Frederica Wilson runs against Trump in 2020 with any of these winners as her running mate:

The hate is strong with this one. It practically oozes out of her.

She probably makes it a habit of slapping white guilt cucks to work out her frustrations.

If I ran the GOP election committee I’d do everything I could to keep these people talking and in the news:

Frederica Wilson
Maxine Waters
Hank Johnson
Sheila Jackson Lee
Cynthia McKinney
Nancy Pelosi
Alcee Hastings
Michelle Obama

They’re pushing Uranium One out of the news for sure.

They certainly are desperate.

Even to pimp one crazy as Maxine Waters.

The President will have to keep firing away at Uranium One.

And Fusion.

Just as with the NFL, this is a “debate” the left cannot win. Let them go after Kelly. It’s red meat for their base, and a massive turnoff to everyone else.
