President Trump early Monday disputed the account of his phone call with a Gold Star widow, who provided a description of the call earlier that morning in an interview.
I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation! Trump wrote on Twitter, referencing one of the Green Berets killed earlier this month in an ambush in Niger.
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation! 8:30 AM - Oct 23, 2017
The presidents tweet comes after Myeshia Johnson during an interview on ABCs Good Morning America confirmed Rep. Frederica Wilsons (D-Fla.) description of the call.
What he said was yes the president said that he knew what he signed up for, but it hurts anyways. And I was it made me cry because I was very angry at the tone of his voice and how he said it. He couldnt remember my husbands name, Johnson told host George Stephanopoulos.
Trump denied Wilsons description of the call last week, but Johnson on Monday said the congresswomans account was not fabricated.
Whatever Ms. Wilson said was not fabricated, what she said was 100 percent correct, said Johnson.
Why would we fabricate something like that? she later added.
Wilson first provided her description of the call last Tuesday, saying Trump told the widow that her husband knew what he signed up for."
Trump repeatedly denied Wilson's version of the call, as did White House chief of staff John Kelly during a rare appearance on Thursday at the White House press briefing.
Frederica Wilson is also a particularly nasty race hustler. Read her Trayvon Martin speech. If you know the facts of the Martin case [you being a full bore Leftist, that’s doubtful] you will notice the degree to which Wilson misrepresented the case in order to stoke racial hatred.
Your theory is sound. I also think that if he used the phrase “he knew what he signed up for...” or some version of that, she was too ignorant to understand the context. Anyone who has spoken to an ignorant person of color has had this experience. One can never underestimate the thin skin of dumb people!
Fact: Wilson hired Trayvon’s mom, works in her office.
Widow was way more planned and set up than she knows, but that gofundme will be one mil soon so all is well. CINC learned the hard way, like we conservatives have, that the left’s eviltry is bottomless and infinite.
Yeah, the left’s behavior disgusts me. They politicize everything and would find something wrong with what he said no matter what.
So Wilson is hyping it for her political benefit and the mother is obligingly going along for the ride.
None of this controversy would be happening if this Maxine "Blowhard" Waters wannabe Frederica, "Showboating" Wilson wasn't honing her way into this story.
I read yesterday that her district in Florida has an unemployment rate 11% higher than the national average.
That goes a long way toward explaining who elected this Cowboy Hat Clown to office to begin with. If she wasn't grandstanding about this phone call, she would have no other accomplishments to show her constituents.
Wilson is in this just for herself and herself only. The family may agree with her and hate Trump too, but none of this is about them, their dead son or the phone call.
This is all about Freaky Federica.
Whatever money is raised will soon be gone.
Absolutely agreed. The media and leftists could care less about these families. They’re only using Johnson’s family for political gain.
The left and the media makes me sick. I agree, the media was be taken on and destroyed. They are too dangerous to the country.
Why would we fabricate something like that? she later added.
...
Because you’re being political for sure, and quite possibly racist. Money or other rewards from the Democrats could be another explanation.
Frederica Wilson was most likely in the car. She is a race hustler who was acquainted with the family. The wife would have gotten a 24 hr notification of Trump’s impending call. Of course the widow would contact her racist friend. Jack Prosobiec, a conservative activist, found Wilson’s pre-Trump-call-tweet, in which she suggested Trump’s biggest screw up to date was coming.
It was a setup.
Whether uranium or not, the reason this story has survived a week is Trump won’t let it die.
“referencing one of the Green Berets killed earlier this month in an ambush in Niger.”
...and he WASN’T A GREEN BERET!
Wilson tweeted that 5 HOURS before the call.
I did not know that Wilson had hired Trayvon’s mother. If ever a mother shamelessly monetized and profited from a son she had rejected and abandoned, it’s Sabrina Fulton. She treated Trayvon abominably.
‘CINC learned the hard way, like we conservatives have, that the lefts eviltry is bottomless and infinite.’
So true!
I saw picture of the wife. She looked like a model. It would be interesting to see a picture of her before she became political fodder.
Receiving a phone call from the President about a death should not be politicized by either party. A lot of people in this country are not grateful. We should change our name to “The United States of Envy.”
I agree with others, this is only in the news to hide the Russian Uranium news.
Sorry , finger screwed funeral expenses
Thanks for the time line. The trap was set. Trump couldn’t have known—but it won’t happen twice.
You sure hate Trump. What a shame.
