“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.

Wow. Nearly $700,000.00 on the Go Fund Me page. This whole spectacle is bringing in loads of cash, unlike other Gold Star wives.

If the caller had been a democrat president and spoke the same exact words, there would have been no problems. That’s just the way it is.

Why indeed? Why did you just happen to have the rodeo clown riding with you?

The husband made the sacrifice, and yes he knew the risks.

The family and the rodeo clown are engaging in an old democrat and muslim tradition of parading the corpse for political gain.

Wilson has convinced this grieving mother that they can make hay while the sun's shines on this story.

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.

This is an absolute rip off. Widow received $100,000.00 almost immediately for earl expenses and will get another $500,000 or more from SGLI term life insurance which is almost mandatory in military. Certainly a warrior like her husband would have had the maximum SGLI term life policy. Social Security will pay out money and the kids will get free college. So what do they need the million dollars for? They are not left with nothing when a service member dies.

“Whatever Ms. Wilson said was not fabricated, what she said was 100 percent correct,” said Johnson."

With due regrets on the loss of Mrs. Johnson's husband, her usage of "whatever" instead of "everything" in this statement implies that she has not heard all of, and therefore can not vouch for, the accuracy of the entirety of Wilson's claims. I sincerely hope that this nor ANY surviving family member would NEVER knowingly & willingly allow themself nor the memory and sacrifice of their late loved one to be so blanketedly used in the cause of partisanized politics. Unfortunately, I do feel as if this issue is being conflated to distract from the true Russia collusion.

Having General Kelly's testimony, Trump would be best to issue a respectful public statement of condolence and thanks to this woman and anyone who loses a service member and MOVE ON. There is nothing to be gained from a tit-4-tat with a military widow and everything to be gained from turning the spotlight to where it belongs.
