(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.

The sound of a landmine being set, a loud “KRICK!”

You are OK as long as you don’t lift your foot.

It was on Rush extensively yesterday, and the MSM isn’t letting it go. Trump’s given her a tweet, too. They think they’re scoring big points in their vendetta against Trump. So it’s still got legs, until the MSM figures out that they’re shooting themselves in the face. As for Ms. Wilson, she thinks she’s on a roll, so she’ll be an unending source of idiocy, which will continue to have legs.

Neither could Al Capone, but he was Alinsky’s inspiration.

Ask Ms. Rodeo Clown. Phrase the question diffidently, tell her how awesome she is, and post her response on Freep.

Crazy Freddy hasn’t even got a clue about what Benghazi was all about. She was out buying new, sparkly cowboy hats.

I missed the part when President Trump blamed the attack on a You Tube video. Must have been reported when I was watching a playoff game.

So now Bengahazi was President Obama's fault?

Why did you not do anything about that while he was in office Wilson?

Benghazi? A Democrat who believes that Benghazi was some sort of big deal? How did this heretic survive the Clinton onslaught? This concern of hers over Benghazi needs to be explored in much more depth. What does she mean, this is Trump’s Benghazi? It doesn’t seem as if she means to imply that Niger is no big deal. Rep. Wilson needs to be pressed on this matter, should be entertaining.

While exceptionally pathetic, these lunatic LIB asshats are somewhat entertaining.

Wait a minute...she’s saying Benghazi really happened? I thought it was about a video.

It is similar to the movie Red October when the bad guy’s missile seeks HIM out and kills him.

You’re watching baseball? What’s the point of that? Nobody takes any knees or anything.

It’s all about videos. There is no real news. The moon landing and 9/11 were all about videos, too. News is just an interesting reality show. Haven’t you watched South Park? The Joozians have you fooled, too?

Ask her what was so bad about Benghazi. Then watch her disappear after she runs her mouth.
