Democratic Congresswoman Frederica Wilson is demanding White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly apologize to her—for “character assassination.”
“Not only does he owe me an apology, but he owes an apology to the American people,” Wilson said Sunday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy” referring to Kelly, whom she also referred to as a “puppet of the president.”
Kelly, the retired four-star Marine general, held a press briefing last week to address the Niger controversy.
Wilson said she overheard parts of a call President Trump made to the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson, Myeshia Johnson, one of the four U.S. soldiers killed in the African nation after being ambushed by ISIS forces.
According to the Florida Democrat, Trump made insensitive remarks, telling the widow that her husband knew “what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurts.”
Kelly, who lost a son in combat, sought to explain what exactly happens when a member of the U.S. military is killed in combat, how they are brought home, and the advice he gave Trump when making the difficult phone call to their families. He also criticized Wilson for sharing the contents of the call, and said he was “stunned” she would “have listened in on that conversation.”
“I would have thought that was sacred,” he said.
At one point during his remarks Kelly referred to the congresswoman as an “empty barrel,” which was of course interpreted as “racism” to the Democrat.
On Sunday Wilson also demanded answers to what happened in Niger after Johnson's body was found nearly a mile away from the scene of the ambush.
"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."
On Twitter, Wilson referred to the soldiers’ deaths in Niger as “Trump’s Benghazi.”
"Niger is @realDonaldTrump's Benghazi. He needs to own it," the Florida Democrat tweeted.
Though apparently she is a useful distraction from other 'rat troubles (ie. Uranium one). So the clown is obeying her masters, taking one or two for the team (ie. the Clinton Crime Machine) She's almost pathetic enough to feel sorry for, almost, if it wasn't for the overwhelming disgust and nausea she induces...
It’s impossible
Exactly. According to the Dims, nothing could have been done in Benghazi. It was a series of unfortunate circumstances, and Obama/Clinton did nothing wrong.
Uh huh
“Frederica Wilson. Asshat.”
Frederica Wilson..,asshole in a hat.
What is the end game in this? This woman needs to stay out this battle field. What is she exactly saying? Why is she flanking our effort against terrorism?
You can't buy this kind of brand (Democrat) destruction anywhere.
Impossible. This nasty, ridiculous person has no character to assassinate.
Kelly takes them all on. I want know where is Ryan,Mc Connell and MaCain they can’t step up and say something. One Kelly is worth at least three of them.
The Left goes even more crazy when they are ignored.
That “character” is already long dead.
Notice a trend? This LOON, Shelia Jackson Lee, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris etc.?
Congress creeps are always up for reelection so she got herself noticed by someone.
Can you spot the loons in these pictures? https://cbc.house.gov/membership/
Well I demand she apologize for her “cultural appropriation” by wearing those hideous cowboy hats.
What character? This woman has found ‘fame’, she’s a ‘rock star’ taking her show on the road and dancing all over the grave of a fallen American hero. She is beneath contempt.
Flip off, Flip.
“Wilson said she overheard parts of a call”
first mistake, Freddy comments after only hear parts, not full content/context.
many more mistakes of hers followed.
“Who axed the rodeo clown for her opinion?”.....
As I understand it, the “Clown” shared some confidential information of the conversation between Trump and the widow that she (Wilson) SHOULD NOT have been privy to. Supposedly that was a FELONY. She apparently committed TWO such felonies first by listening and second by sharing what she heard. Who expects to she her prosecuted for both?
The Saloon Hookers’ Association has not spoken out yet but I am sure you will be hearing from them. In the mean time we must protest the use of the term “rodeo clown.” Rodeo clowns are professionals who display great courage.
Sincerely, Emit Clinton - President Rodeo Clown Anti-Defamation League
Wait just one minute, I happen to like rodeo clowns but definitely NOT Wilson, the “barrel case” Kelly referred to.
