Trump told Widow Soldier 'Must've Known What He Signed Up For': Rep. [Florida Trump Hater]
NBC BAY AREA ^

Posted on 10/18/2017 3:04:15 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

...Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., said she overheard President Donald Trump tell the widow of Miami Gardens native Sgt. La David T. Johnson, a U.S. soldier killed in Niger, that her husband "must've known what he signed up for."...

...."Sarcastically, he said: 'But, you know, he must've known what he signed up for,'" Wilson said. "How could you say that to a grieving widow? ... I couldn't believe, and he said it more than once. This man has no feelings for anyone. This is a young woman with child....

"Everyone knows when you go to war, you could possibly not come back alive, but you don't remind a grieving widow of that. That's so insensitive," Wilson added.

Trump just hit back via twitter!

"Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof). Sad!

Frederica Wilson is a virulent Trump hater. She is the worst.

Well, at least her over-sized sparkly disco cowboy hat is the literally the height of ...fashion. So she has that going for her.

Number one story on MSN’s News page.

They’re so anti-Trump it’s pathetic. I just removed the page, which is the default Start page, from Edge.

You can do so, too. Go to More (the three ellipses in the upper right corner), select Settings, and under Open Microsoft Edge with, in the Start page pull down, select a specific page or pages, and in the Enter a URL text box, type in something like, say “http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/news-forum/index?tab=comments"; and then click the diskette icon (save). Viola, no more nasty MSN Myfeed.

She is the lady who would be blaming the EMT’s for not arriving fast enough. It was her son who gave his life. She disrespects his sacrifice.

I wonder if the eavesdropper heard the whole context of the snippet?

This story is in big letters over at Daily Mail. Comments are very anti-Trump as well.

As usual, faux outrage and then the realization that in the end, Trump was right, and the Left will have egg on their face again.

Another lame brain democrat sporting a 1958 Woolworth’s mannequin wig, but this one wears a Halloween cowboy hat to cover up the polyester sheen.

According to the folks at "Fox & Friends" this morning, the Congresswoman was with the widow when the phone call came and it was on speakerphone. (Even the GEICO caveman knows how to use speakerphone.)

Trump tweeted about this issue this morning and said he has proof to back up his version.

Rep. Wilson boycotted the inauguration.

Yet no one asks the obvious questions, “why in the world are we in Niger in the first place? What’s our national interest there?”

Uranium ore.

Which brings up the question of why uranium is so important if no one is building nuclear weapons and nuclear power generation is being discouraged...

It will blow up in their face.

When Trump doubles down, you know he knows he can win the fight.

They will be proven wrong.

The hat looks so natural, huh?

All that, no brains.

15 minutes is about up.

Yeah, how convenient. This rep was in the car with the widow and the President “just happens to call”. Mmhmmmm.

This will backfire on Wilson, the anti-American twit.

Plus, beware Fox & Friends. They have a new anti American agenda too. They’re just feeding it to you a little at a time, hoping you won’t notice.
