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.

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.
These are all Godless, despicable, evil, pathetic excuses for human beings.
They are completely empty and blind.
How very sad.
They are ticked because the White House Just hit a Grand Slam and NOBODY took a knee.
Joy Reid needs to go back and look at the words of her messiah Barack Obama..who while talking about our fallen officers, used the SAME EXACT WORDS..they know what they signed up for..and then watch Joy Reid shut her ugly racist trap
The Commie media proves my point, they HATE our military, unless it helps them politically..then they show their true colors..they hate our anthem, they hate our military, they hate EVERYTHING about America
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.
.
remember- these same clowns fawned over john murtha when he basically started crying giving a speech against the war in iraq...
SCREW THE JOURNOS. That was a TERRIFIC speech!
So very true.
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.
And don't forget the racist and hateful Joy Reid.
So many termites.
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.
