(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.

Wilson is the one employing foreign Intel spies often working from Pakistan (Awans).

Wilson is a liberal fascist.

The more junk she can talk to destroy the institution
of the Presidency the better.

Saul Alinsky is her light as it was for Obama.

Wilson wants Rebama, a do over like the last scud-bag that was president before the Donald.

The soldier was left behind, beause “he black?” /s

Wilson will have to spend really big to get re-elected. She needs to be treated the same way Col. Allen West was treated by the Dems redistricting process.

The only rock that witch has should be directly between her eyes.

re: Benghazi, No, President Trump does not “have” nearly all the documents and info, the vast bureaucracies are very adept at burying stuff, and staffers have moved on, left govt etc. That’s why I said “demand” — he has to light a fire under all of the relevant departments and make clear that no more Benghazi stonewalling or obfuscation will be tolerated. Any bureaucracy can be very resistant to oversight, and after years of Obama et al. there are many stones to turn over.

She has managed the impossible — landing a body blow on her own bad self.

Looks like she will get more air time than the slaughter at Las Vegas and it looks like CNN thinks she is a bigger story than Las Vegas.

I bet progressives (esp. Obama and Obama Co.) cringe every time Wilson mentions “Trump’s Benghazi”.

Before you know it, that Wilson becomes too much of an embarrassment for them, she might develop some ‘strange illness’ or ‘strange incident’.

Bwahahahaaaaa......

That’s giving her too much credit. She couldn’t comprehend, less read, Alinsky’s writings.

Unlikely. See #19 on this thread.

She’ll coast to reelection as usual, probably get 105% of the vote thanks to this whole exchange.

True enough. But as POTUS, he can bludgeon the recalcitrant with his personality and the powers of his office. The documents are buried because Obumus made it clear that he wanted them buried. Bureaucrats have lifelong jobs and survive many a POTUS. Bury the documents, they would. Shred them, they wouldn’t dare, because that would call for jail time, or even worse, dismissal for cause. Nobody’ll do that for a previous administration once it’s about to become previous.

>>I don’t recall losing an ambassador in Niger.<<

Nor an ignored request for support before the event, followed by an ignored request for support during the event nor an attempt to cover it up by saying the event was caused by a YT video.

IOW, as much as he left wants this to be “Trump’s Benghazi” it is neither.

Has he blamed a youtube video yet?

Has he promised the parents of the fallen that he’ll get the guy who made that youtube video yet?

Was he using a US embassy in Niger to run guns to paramilitary “insurgent” terrorists to destabilize the government there?

Was he doing this on behalf of a foreign lobbyist?

Did he boldly decry all questions about the matter and say “what difference does it make at this time anyhow?”

Did it happen on the anniversary of 9-11?

Other than all that I could see how it’s just like Benghazi.

She ain’t ever rocked in her life.

“pop”/pap star does not equal rock and roll star.
