Hillary Clinton’s former campaign spokesman called retired Gen. John Kelly “odious” on Thursday after the White House chief of staff and Gold Star father spoke about President Trump’s decision to call the families of four soldiers killed in Niger earlier this month.
“Don’t be distracted by the uniform,” Brian Fallon, a CNN contributor and past communications director for Clinton’s campaign, wrote on Twitter following Kelly’s remarks.

“Kelly isn’t just an enabler of Trump. He’s a believer in him. That makes him as odious as the rest,” wrote Fallon, who is also an adviser to the Democratic political action committee, Priorities PAC.
Fallon was upset with a briefing that Kelly gave to reporters on President Trump’s phone calls to the families of the four fallen soldiers.
The calls became controversial after Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson told a reporter that Trump made what she said were “insensitive” remarks during his conversation with the pregnant widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson.
Wilson, who was listening in on the call, said that Trump told the widow that Johnson “knew what he signed up for…but when it happens, it hurts anyway.”
During his remarks on Thursday, Kelly, whose son 1st Lt. Robert Michael Kelly was killed in Afghanistan in 2010, said that he was “stunned” by Wilson’s remarks to the media.
“I was stunned when I came to work yesterday morning and brokenhearted at what I saw a member of Congress doing,” Kelly said.
Kelly also gave an emotional description of the process by which soldiers killed in combat are returned back to the U.S.
Describing his conversations with Trump about contacting grieving families, Kelly said Thursday that he initially advised Trump against calling them.
“If you elect to call a family like this it is about the most difficult thing you can imagine. There’s no perfect way to make that phone call,” said Kelly, a retired Marine general.
But Kelly defended Trump’s decision to make the calls.
“[Trump] called four people the other day and expressed his condolences in the best way he could and he said to me, ‘What do I say?'”
Nope, NOTHING is sacred to the ‘RATS.
Fallon is a FOUL PUNK.
Hillary’s campaign spokesman? Bwahahaha. That means he is a three time loser right?
Hillary’s Propaganda Director had a comment for the media.
The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution. All boundaries are temporary, to be dropped when necessary for the sake of the revolution.
Deplorable wasn’t sufficient? He raised it to odious?
“Fallon was upset with a briefing that Kelly gave...”
Flak = Over the target!
Brian Fallon demonstrates that he is odious.
Is Hilary Odious?
depends,,,,
The DemonRATs are revealing to us their aim is to destroy America as we know it. They want to turn America into an oligarchy.
Unbelievable!
Still can't believe Wilson would advertise AND INTERPRET a private phone call between the President and the wife of a soldier.
“Deplorable wasn’t sufficient? He raised it to odious?”
Does this mean we have to make all new tee shirts and coffee mugs at Cafe Press?
...”Nope, NOTHING is sacred to the ‘RATS.”...
Hatred blinds people. Pray for Mr. Fallon and put him into God’s hands.
+1000
These insane people need to lose their “right to life”. They get crazier every minute Trump is still president.
The Democrats must be wiped out in the 2018 elections.
It must become socially odious to be a Democrat.
These people are truly despicable.
The budget passed last night with NO democrat support.
Dem. rep Wilson laughs that she is a rock star now,on the back of a dead Green Beret.
These are horrible people.
She has achieved a certain notoriety ... before this incident, I had never heard of her. Now I know she's a psychopathic, self-centered, ignorant, arrogant, unintelligent, ineducable, racially bigoted disgrace to the State of Florida.
“Does this mean we have to make all new tee shirts and coffee mugs at Cafe Press?”
The best part of this, and yes, Pollyanna is looking for the silver lining, is that when somebody is reduced to name calling, they have lost the argument. I think that’s obvious to most people once they are out of grade school.
Whoo hoo! MAGA
Just another mouthy faggot ‘Rat.
CW II will come...and it will be far worse then the first.
