Wilson demands apology from Kelly for ‘character assassination’

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.

Would she possibly get her stupid face off the screen so we can mourn our list heroes, or must she steal all of their honors.

The apology should be the other way around.

Wilson should apologize to Gen. Kelly.

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

Rodeo clowns are brave men who put their safety on line to make sure bull riders are not mauled by the bulls. I give them a lot of credit. I’d like to see her in a bull ring though! 8^)

Did Trump insist a phony video caused the death of 4 Americans in Niger? I didn’t think so.

It’s not assassination when you point the gun at your own head and fire, Sweetie.

The Democrats are desperate. The African American/ Haitian vote is not what it once was for them and they are sending out the agitators but like Sharpton & Jackson, this will fall flat.

Smallish comment, doesn’t help the masses separate we conservatives from the bigots the left thinks we are.

You can do better.
