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.....

Fake News Media knows what a nasty selfish sow this woman is, they’re scrambling to change the subject and shut her down.

I doubt—still—that this tranny pimp in a cowboy hat will shut her nasty racist mouth. She’s absolutely basking in the notion that she is now a rock star.

A day ago she said Trump was insensitive.

How does the widow feel about her doing and saying this?

No, congresswoman. You are still a feral idiot who is a racist and hate-filled. Resign today for the good of the country and for the good of civil society. You are a lunatic.

She is one sick Pig! Could it be any more obvious that this was a setup and that she is completely biased? She even tried to take the phone away from the Widow and start arguing with Trump during the condolence call. She doesn’t deserve being called insane I think she’s just scum.

This filthy skank thinks she became a rockstar on the body of a dead Green Beret hero. An eternity in hell is too good for her.

Yes she is dancing on the grave of the fallen and she is too stupid to realize it. Her only concern is being in the limelight.

The top of that idiot’s cowboy hat is the perfect point of aim for 300 yards.
