Rep. Frederica Wilson on Friday accused White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly of lying about her and using a “racist term” when he publicly admonished her for politicizing the president’s condolence call to a Special Forces’ widow.
Mr. Kelly, a retired Marine general whose son was killed in action in Afghanistan, on Thursday denounced the Florida Democrat for listening in on President Trump’s call to Army Sgt. La David Johnson’s widow and then accusing the president of being disrespectful.
“He has my sympathy for the loss of his son, but he can’t just go on TV and lie on me,” Mrs. Wilson said on CNN.
She took issue with Mr. Kelly describing her remarks at the 2015 dedication of a FBI field office in Miami, which was named for two agents killed in the line of duty.
Mr. Kelly said she boasted about securing funding for the building in her district and described the congresswoman as “empty barrels making the most noise.”
“I was not even in Congress in 2009 when the money for the building was secured. So that’s a lie. How dare he,” Mrs. Wilson said.
She said that she did participate in the naming of the building at the behest of FBI Director James B. Comey and House Speaker John A. Boehner, describing it as a bipartisan effort.
She also took offense at the phrase “empty barrel.”
“That’s a racist term, too. I’m thinking about that. We looked it up in the dictionary because I had never heard of an empty barrel, and I don’t like to be dragged into something like that,” she said.....

The IQ scale does not go that low.........
I don’t know, but I wish all the nation’s enemies were this dang DUMB.
She needs to keep talking. I believe people are becoming VERY tired of the racist meme.
Too low to be measured.
If that fool thinks she's more believable than General John Kelly she couldn't be more wrong.
If anyone in the Democrat party had any sense, they'd quickly tell her to STFU before she becomes the poster child for the 2018 elections, that is if she hasn't become it already.
Somewhere between “moss” and “fern.”
Fortunately, an engineer will switch to a logarithmic scale ...
The IQ in question is about -30 dB ...
What do you expect from this feral who was elected by ferals?
Keep drawing her out, she’s too dumb to know she’s only hurting herself. Next round I’ll look for her to be calling Trump and Kelly a “couple of honkies” in true Aunt Esther fashion.
I would presume that most people trust the Marines more than any other service and a general more than a corporal or a lieutenant. Kelly is a Marine four star general.
She had to look up “empty barrel” in the dictionary?? Wonder if she ever found it.
Empty barrel is racist. The only word in the English language that isn’t is “the”.
The 2020 Dem ticket, Waters/Wilson
That is impressive!
Someone try to explain to this idiot that an empty BARRELL echoes and is louder. The barrel has no race.
most barrels are made from black oak, so, it is a racist term...
wha?!?

WHAT THE LIVING F*CK DID I JUST READ?!?!?!!?!?!?

If all Repubs do moving forward till Nov ‘18 is just play this idiot’s rants, and Maxine Waters’, they’ll win a supermajority in a walk.
Can you believe this moron was an elementary school principal? Is it any wonder why the state of public education is so pathetic.
