Journos Criticize Gen. Kelly For Emotional Gold Star Speech [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/19/2017 | Amber Athey

Journalists are attacking Gen. John Kelly for defending President Trump’s 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.”

MSNBC’s Joy Reid accused Trump of putting Gen. Kelly up to the speech, and claimed he was “us[ing] his son’s death to defend Trump.”

The media is outraged that President Trump’s remarks (as far as they are concerned) were cold and unemotional.
The media is outraged that Gen. Kelly’s remarks were emotional.

The media is just outraged that Hillary wasn’t elected.

Frederica Wilson, the same person that voted against the VA Accountability Bill and has hardly been a friend to veterans, but she is worried about one now though. Sure.

How dare him defend Trump! How dare he say that he counseled the President on what to say. How dare he say that he was stunned that a US Representative was listening in on the call. How dare him!

I think it’s high time they just tell all the MSM to go frank themselves. The MSM pulled this crap with the goldstar muslim. Ignore them or tell them where to go. President Trump need only speak directly to the American people because this cadre of the damned are too far gone to even deserve a scrap of refuse.

Journos Criticize Gen. Kelly For Emotional Gold Star Speech...just heard the replay on Fox - fantastic talk - lists the things that seem to have vanished in the country today - respect for women, religion, and others - can add any sense of shame or respect for the opinions and feelings of others from the left to the list......

If that speech didn't get through to these people, nothing ever will.

They are truly the devil's advocate.

.
General Kelly made it plain to the “Journos” and the self-important ‘gold star mom’ that they were ignorant ungrateful trash!

He demolished their false premises in plain unmistakable terms.

The very fact that the journos are ticked off is evidence that General Kelly handed their A$$ES to them. He shamed them, appropriately so.

I just finished watching on YouTube. Gen. Kelly was brilliant. I hope these press jackals carry on. This is the type of thing that makes NORMAL Americans separate from the Democrat party. It was a throwback to how normal Americans spoke.

Outstanding.
