Congresswoman on John Kelly's criticism: 'I'm a rock star now'
KTAL-TV ^ | October 20, 2017 | Miranda Green, CNN

Rep. Frederica Wilson is laughing off criticism lobbed at her from White House chief of staff John Kelly, saying his comments show "I'm a rock star now."

The Florida Democrat made the comment to Miami Fox affiliate WSVN-TV Thursday in response to Kelly.

"You mean to tell me that I have become so important that the White House is following me and my words?" Wilson said. "This is amazing. It's amazing, that is absolutely phenomenal. I have to tell my kids that I'm a rock star now."

She also said she has been getting threats from white nationalists in the wake of her public dispute with the White House.

Kelly, speaking at a White House press briefing Thursday afternoon, denounced Wilson after the Florida congresswoman publicly criticized President Donald Trump's comments during a phone call with the widow of a fallen soldier. Wilson was present during the phone call and told CNN that Trump had told the widow that her husband "knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurt."

A Gold Star father, Kelly said he was "brokenhearted" by the congresswoman's criticism and said that he had advised Trump on what to say before he called the families of the four fallen soldiers who died during an ambush in Niger. Kelly said he encouraged Trump to echo words Gen. Joseph Dunford offered to Kelly when his own son was killed in Afghanistan.....

Delusional. Having rocks in your head does not make you a rock star.

Why would white nationalists threaten her? Her negritude is doing them a favor

No, you stupid cow. You’ve just been exposed as an idiot. But because you’re an idiot, you can’t figure this out.

It’s a tactic. Mocking ones opposition. Childish, and to be expected from someone on record as extremely self centered.

Such childishness isn’t something America needs in her legislative body.

The comments on her Facebook page are all negative towards her over 1000. Check it out. If she had any sense at all, she would slink off to the nearest rock and hide until this blows over.

The poor dear doesn’t know the difference between
a rock star and a laughing stock. Sad.

Rock star?
More like a chimp, and an embarrassingly stupid looking one at that.
She so stupid she cannot be embarrassed or ashamed even as she plays with her poo and pleasures herself in the DC zoo.

This woman is a jealous, small-minded MORON. She wears those stupid little cowboy hats because their pointed shape perfectly fits her Zippy-like pointy head. Having no merit of her own, she seeks attention by attempting to denigrate someone who actually is accomplishing good things---President Trump.

Seems like there's a whole passel of such dross in Congress--this critter, Maximum Moron Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, etc. It's downright scary that such intellectually undeveloped people have actually been elected into our country's lawgiving branch. I haven't heard of one single piece of decent useful legislation put forward by any of them. Instead, they use their position as a platform to attempt to shout down those people who are actually productive. If you're not pulling your weight as a Congresscritter, just leave and crawl back under your rock.
