Journalists are attacking Gen. John Kelly for defending President Trumps phone call to a Gold Star mother in an impassioned speech to the White House press corps Thursday.
During the speech, Kelly covered a wide range of topics surrounding the current media conversation about Gold Star families, stating that he initially told Trump not to call the families of the soldiers killed in Niger, slamming Rep. Frederica Wilson for sharing and criticizing the contents of a private phone call, and indicating that the Pentagon is investigating what happened in Niger.
In a particularly poignant moment, Kelly, now White House chief of staff, reiterated the words that Trump used in a phone call with a Gold Star mother, asserting that his son who died in Afghanistan knew what he was getting into.
MSNBCs Joy Reid accused Trump of putting Gen. Kelly up to the speech, and claimed he was us[ing] his sons death to defend Trump.

First, Ge. Kelly’s press briefing video clip is a must see. In its entirety.
Second, let those journo talk, let them hang themselves.
American adults can judge for themselves.
"Military leader takes over television podium reserved for civilian leadership, only takes questions from reporters with military ties."
I guess it is news to Pedro that Kelly is a RETIRED General, and in his current position - he is a CIVILIAN.
Someone posted this to Pedro's Twitter account in response.
I will take the words of a retired Marine general officer who has spent his entire adult live serving the country over those of scummy, putrid celebs who wouldn’t know the concept of service if it bit them in their pimply fat asses.
And now the “Journos” are attacking a Gold Star father! Wow!
He did - using thing they have trouble fathoming: logic, facts, truth, and reason.
The ONLY reason they are attacking General Kelly is because he slapped a lot of people in face with their lies and B.S.
Anyone who has lost a child, whether in the Military or not does not understand the pain people left behind go through...
As far as the idiot in the ‘hat’ well she’s just a speck of dirt on the ground that should be ground further into the ground...
Way To Go General Kelly and Thank You for your service!!!
And right now Roy Moore is up 11 points in Alabama. The more of this crap they dish out, the deeper hole they dig for themselves.
same ole, same ole. Shall we just stop giving these microphone mavens the time of day?
“And right now Roy Moore is up 11 points in Alabama. The more of this crap they dish out, the deeper hole they dig for themselves.”
Stephen Bannon said in a recent speech that President Trump will “win with 400 electoral votes in 2020,”
I believe we are heading in that direction.
Exactly. Let’s not get in their way, shall we? Lolol.
Libs are upset that John Kelly expressed distaste with the actions of the biggest freak in their congressional petting zoo. Empty barrel is a great desciption.
must see vid
Wow ... 11 points up. That’s such great news! Americans FINALLY have had enough of people trying to ruin our country. I wondered if/when we’d ever get organized and fight back.
Thank You, God, for sending President Trump to us!
There will NEVER be any peace as long as the Corporate Media exists.

Gen Kelly was effective in his talk before the press.
I am not a weeper....but the tears came unbidden while I listened to General Kelly today.
