Wilson demands apology from Kelly for ‘character assassination’

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) is calling for an apology from White House chief of staff John Kelly for "character assassination."

“Not only does he owe me an apology, but he owes an apology to the American people,” Wilson said during an appearance Sunday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy," according to The Washington Post.

She also referred to Kelly as a "puppet of the president."

The Florida Democrat called the deaths of four U.S. soldiers in Niger a "catastrophe."

ADVERTISEMENT "We had four soldiers who died. They have been buried," she said. "And we need to know why, and we need to know about the special circumstances surrounding [U.S. Army Sgt.] La David Johnson.”

The comments come amid an ongoing feud between Wilson and President Trump.

Wilson last week said she overheard a conversation between Trump and Johnson's widow. During that call, Wilson said Trump told the widow that Johnson "knew what he was getting into."

Trump denied the claim and has since taken to Twitter to blast the Democratic lawmaker as "wacky" and the "gift that keeps on giving" for the GOP.

Kelly last week gave an emotional press conference during which he railed against Wilson for sharing the contents of the call.

He said he was "stunned" that a member of Congress "would have listened in on that conversation."

"I would have thought that was sacred," he said.

So true..many hats have fake hair attached, and Moochelle wore one with attached braids, so funny as the braids are very stiff and fake looking..

This empty barrel wears a wig and hats to hold it in place. Wondering if there are any photo's floating out there of her and NO hat on? Would love to see one. I believe her wigs are rather cheaper ones that the Mooch sports...

Mooch and Oprah have the best money can buy.
