(CNN)After President Donald Trump repeatedly referred to her as a "wacky Congresswoman," Rep. Frederica Wilson fired back on Sunday morning, saying that the ambush in Niger that left four US soldiers dead "is (Trump's) Benghazi" and demanding an apology to "the nation" from White House chief of staff John Kelly. "Niger is @realDonaldTrump's Benghazi. He needs to own it," the Florida Democrat tweeted. Wilson and Trump have traded barbs for nearly a week on the controversy stemming from the President's condolence call to Myeshia Johnson, the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, one of the soldiers killed in the ambush in Niger earlier this month.

I thought it was Wilson’s legislation that put troops in Niger in the first place? And that was under Obama!

So it should be said that she “knew what she was signing us up for” by sponsoring legislation that would put us there.

SHe’s stepped in it now, let President Trump demand a full and comprehensive review of Benghazi with complete cooperation from the intel community and Depts of State, Defense, etc. Demand all documents and info that were withheld by the Obamanation flunkies.

Along with that, full and comprehensive review of policies, deployments, and protocols that put our forces in Niger and around Africa, etc.

Getting all appropriate info out in the public view is not going to benefit the Democraps, that’s for sure!!

I thought Benghazi was no big thing, according to Dems.

if it’s the same as Benghazi, the media will ignore it and find a video to blame.

Or Tillerson wasting precious time while the soldiers were under attack, trying to figure out whether the rescue mission would be offensive to their attackers in fatigues or plain clothes, and failing to give the “go” order until they were all dead. Or lying to the bereaved families about why they were attacked. But at this point, what difference does it make? Rodeo clown Wilson has uttered her brain fart, and there’s no taking it back.

Sure. In the interest of seeing justice done, for the sake of the gold star families of the Benghazi and Niger firefights, to make up for any hurt feelings on the part of the Davises for any remark that came across as insensitive. No need to demand documents. Trump HAS the documents, and can make them available.

Rep(rehensible) Wilson, stop lyin’ on Trump. BTW, John Kelly is wrong about Wilson being empty: she’s actually quite full (of it).

I hope she gets a big role in the 2020 POTUS campaign. Just when I was starting to miss Lurch and Joe Biden, here comes their replacement.

The funny thing is that legacy media treats these circus clowns like Frederica Wilson and Maxine Waters as intelligent people with IMPORTANT THINGS TO SAY Talkin’ some Truff to Powah! - when the public just sees them as morons.
