God that is wordy. My 60 year old millennial attention span can’t handle it. And if you watch CNN you know what is coming. I don’t get worked up over what is said on CNN because I don’t watch CNN. This post spends way more time on a generated controversy than the original 2 hours of program.

I personally think Trump has this taped and if the widow who is getting RICH off of this doesn’t cut it out he will leak it soon.

The post wasn’t about CNN at all. It was about the media, controversy timeline in general, and how I thought this could have been ended with a simple statement the next morning. I realize it’s long, but that’s why I separated the main section which is a much shorter read.

In analyzing back and forth regarding the fallen Green Beret La David Johnson, it's almost unbelievable that this phone call to a grieving widow became a controversy that has spanned into it's second week  I feel it could have been nipped in the bud very quickly.

 

Try as one might - one cannot overcome a libtard with an agenda. The Cindy Sheehan debacle was horrible. The Khan family also grandstanded off of their dead son.

And so now we have a Cowboy Hat thing and a gullible Johnson family also airing their dirty laundry. And the press is enabling their foolishness.

I just think a statement the next morning would have ended it. The Congresswoman and media would have looked ridiculous for making something out of it, Trump would have looked good for a humble response and for talking about how our soldiers are heroes for signing up to protect this country and for making a donation to the Go Fund Me, and I don’t think the widow would have ever needed to come out.

I doubt he recorded it, though, because even the calls with Comey weren’t taped and those had major implications.

It was a set up from the beginning. If he said nothing, he would have been painted as insensitive, uncaring and a racist. If he made any kind of statement, he would have been painted as insensitive, uncaring, political opportunist and a racist. That is why the clown wanted to become involved in it.

contributing to the widow’s gofundme fund is like feeding a cockroach by leaving a trashcan open and hoping that it will get its fill and then go away. instead of the cockroach going away, you return the next morning to find that the cockroach has been joined in the feast by 1000 of its closest friends and relatives.

Who is Frederica Wilson and why should she matter for more than 5 minutes anywhere?

A very bellicose woman who knows not even the least amount of decorum or impulse control, given over to expressing her very emotional reactions to a person whom she understands not at all, and wishes to mock and deride that person in any way she has the means to do.

Truly an empty vessel that makes far too much racket. And none of it makes much rational sense.

I would think he’d learned by now. And no as a ex-NYer we NYers fight no matter the odds! I say that as a white boy who grew up in Da Bronx:-)

The rodeo clown tweeted hours BEFORE the phone call that President Trump's criticism of the former Muslim-In-Chief over phone calls "won't be the last new low, only the latest. Sgt. La David Johnson was my constituent."

The trap was set - because the White House calls the bereaved family before the actual call.

This was a well-planned hit by the wife, her family, and representative rodeo clown.

The wife is raking in some good coin over this. Hmmmm...

Yes. See my post #13.

Pinkie, You’ve obviously been hoodwinked into believing this was a serious misunderstanding. To my mind, in light of what was said by Wilson, this was a trap. The widow, the mother and Wison all despise Trump. They wanted Hillary. So when Trump’s office notified them that POTUS would be phoning, and when; they hatched a plan to sandbag Trump and make him look as bad as possible.

Your proposed statement would not have ended a deliberate donnybrook. Wilson wanted a fight. It did not matter how Trump responded. If he said nothing, if he apologized, if he called her a liar, what ever he did or said would have resulted in her grandstanding on the back of a dead soldier and his grieving family.
It will all come out when the wife sues the Congresswoman for the $1/4 million she is taking out of the GOFUNDME for the family and putting into her own coffers.

This account will need an administrator. Just curious who it will be and what amounts will be dedicated to fees and compensation. The kids will be lucky if there’s enough left for text books.

He wasn't a Green Beret.

The character of the principals involved in this little circus closed this case before it began.

You see the players. End of story. You get the picture as soon as they enter from Stage Left.

You either trust the motives of Trump, or, you entertain the BS produced by the Black Widow & Whacky Wild Wison? I mean, “Hello, anybody home?”

Wake up, and ask yourself about this Widow: “who runs around with Whacky Wild Wilson in the first place”; and, who the heck wants to haul along Whacky Wild Wilson to go meet the plane arriving from overseas, as you receive the body of your deceased husband; and, who first agrees to take a condolence call from the POTUS, THEN arranges to be available to receive that call, at a certain time; and, who puts the POTUS on speaker phone to the delight of a known Trump-hater, (Whacky Wild Wilson) but who herself remains reportedly silent during his remarks. (Sullenly silent.)

I’ll tell you... ANOTHER TRUMP HATER, that’s who. A widow who is another Leftist Democrat activist, probably a BLM promoter, and definitely another Trump hating Leftist.

Come on. Slogging through Leftist word games as if they were hold water, or are remotely meaningful or true, is an exercise in FUTILITY and a FOOLS ERRAND.

If you want to lose sleep over the memory of the soldier lost in the ambush, remember this.. it is THEY who made this bed of desecration to the memory of this lost soldier. Trump contributed nothing toward their evil deed , but his condolence. Neither did we.

I would have recommended he make a donation to the widow's Go Fund Me page.

A gimme page. The widow and the rodeo clown are doing nothing but riding out the money train. They are dishonoring the husband. It's disgusting. Trump doesn't have to apologize to anyone. The is nothing for him to apologize for.
