Dem Rep Frederica Wilson: Gen. Kelly Calling Me “Empty Barrel” is “Racist”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Of course it’s racist. Everything is . . .

In his remarks on President Trump’s condolence phone call to the wife of a fallen US soldier, Chief of Staff John Kelly, alluding to Rep. Frederica Wilson, spoke of “a long tradition of empty barrels making the most noise.”

Appearing on CNN this morning, Wilson said:

“I think that’s a racist term, too."

Some ignorant black racist rodeo clown is too illiterate to even know what his phrase meant much less what “racist” means.

The great irony here is that she is too stupid to know that she was just called stupid.

What would she say if he had said: “a long tradition of empty white cracker barrels making the most noise.”

There needs to be an investigation on how much the taxpayers are spending on this clown's costume.

Racists see racism in everything. It’s their only weapon and not a good one at that. What a complete maroooooooon.

“Ol’ Frederica in assless chaps makes for a disturbing mental image”

“”He shouldn’t be able to just say that, that is terrible,” Wilson said of Kelly’s remarks””

Is she serious? Does she even have a brain?

Well, witch - remember the 1st Amendment that you dems are all so quick to embrace? That works for the rest of us too; believe it or not!!

“She isn’t smart enough or brave enough to be a rodeo clown.”

Seriously! Rodeo clowns are hard working tough individuals that put them selves in danger to save others. Don’t even compare them.

Chris Cillizza of CNN researched the origins of “empty barrel.” His conclusion: “as far as I can tell, it’s wrong to call what Kelly said racist.”
