Former Navy SEAL Congressman: I’m ‘Embarrassed’ and ‘Disgusted’ By Frederica Wilson’s Behavior
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 10/20/17 | Jack Heretick

Posted on 10/20/2017 6:45:21 AM PDT by markomalley

Rep. Scott Taylor (R., Va.) said that he was "embarrassed" and "disgusted" Friday by Rep. Frederica Wilson's (D., Fla.) comments criticizing President Donald Trump and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly over Trump's phone call toward a military widow from her district.

CNN host Chris Cuomo asked Taylor for his opinion on the ongoing feud between Wilson and the White House. Wilson has charged Trump acted callously in his phone conversation this week with Myeshia Johnson, the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, who was recently killed in Niger alongside three other American soldiers.

Kelly said he was "stunned" by Wilson on Thursday for revealing the details of a "sacred" conversation and called her an "empty barrel," and Trump has said she has mischaracterized his remarks.

Taylor, a former Navy SEAL who lost friends in war, blasted Wilson for her comments in a CNN interview shortly before his, where she continued to blast the White House.

"I will tell you that the notion that the president of the United States was calling a family with any intent to be callous or anything like that is ridiculous and that's offensive as well too," Taylor said. "This is the commander-in-chief. You may not like that he's the commander-in-chief, but this is the commander-in-chief calling a family."

Taylor said he wished Wilson would instead protect the family of the soldier killed in Niger from the media instead of constantly doing interviews.

"I listened to her interview and I'm embarrassed quite frankly," Taylor said. "I'm completely embarrassed by the behavior."

"I just find this … I'm disgusted by it, I really am," Taylor added.

Being a liberal not only means never having to say your sorry, but it indicates no bottom to the depths of depravity that you’ll descend.

This pretentious sop, Wilson, is the epitome of everything that is calloused and vulgar about the Democrat party. If they were decent human beings her party leadership would reprimand her. They are not. Instead they gloat about her malicious slander.

Ryan should immediately schedule a vote to censure Rep. Wilson.

We are all stunned by Wilson’s violation of not just the sacred conversation between President Trump and a Gold Star Family, but her breaching of National Security by revealing privileged communication and our Nation’s Niger Mission security strategies.

No reason for him to be embarrassed. He did nothing wrong.

This black hole (term coined by FReeper moovova) of a congress person is the one who should be embarrassed. But since she’s a dem, there is no such thing. Badge of honor, yes.

Sick sick sick people. Getting sicker by the day.

I have to believe 4 of the 5 CNN viewers are disgusted by the congresswoman by now.

What disgusts me is the media plays this crap up. The clear intent is to tarnish Trump and they are over playing this to the point of proving Trump’s fake news criticism. The media is so out of touch they just don’t get it.

It also means never having to say “I think.”

They only say “I feel.”

“They gloat about her malicious slander...”

There is no such thing as malicious slander to Bolshevik scu&bags.

If whatever they do furthers the revolution, it is good and not malicious. “Decency” to them is nothing but Bourgois morality that has no place in the revolution.

IMHO

She’s an unintelligent, short, stocky, unattractive black woman. The hat is her attempt to stand out and be memorable.

At what point will ALL Republican DC swampthings recognize what’s going on, and support our President? One would think this verbal attack on General Kelley would be the last straw.

Sheep Smith continued to shame this nation with a lie afterwards with his comment, “you know it’s our own Brett Baier who reminded us this morning that it was President Trump who opened the door to politicizing this and now they need it to end, John Kelly made it clear that the nations needs it to end.”

This is why Me and thousands from FR protested Cindy (Let me make political hay on my son’s death) Sheehan in Crawford Tx

They never learn, Cindy has raised her ugly head again

Does she even remember Casey’s name?

No tears while thousands died when Obama held command, not even a whimper.

These people are sick

They aren’t hats that she wears. Rather, her brains have gone to seed and we’re seeing a variety of blossoms from the myriad species of seeds that were accumulated from the animal scat that fills her skull.

Lots of colors, shapes, ornamentations - all fresh from the guts of Florida coyotes and possums.

Black people are experiencing the final let down stage. Obama did nothing for them. They feel abandoned in a new economy with prospects for work better than in 20 years. But the magic free rent, food,.phones, daycare, healthcare, utilities, etc..... never materialized to the extent they held hope for. Now they are lost and scared to work for a living.
