Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) said President Trump’s White House is “full of white supremacists” in a new interview Friday.
“The White House itself is full of white supremacists,” she told The New York Times.
It is the latest response in a four-day controversy over Trump's response to military families who have lost a loved one. Wilson earlier this week described a phone conversation she was listening in on between Trump and the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed in Niger. The White House later accused Wilson of politicizing a "sacred" issue.
Wilson's interview is not the first time a critic has suggested racial bias plays a role in the controversy, although the congresswoman did not get more specific.
Wilson said she feels “very sorry” for White House chief of staff John Kelly after Kelly accused her of using a speech during a 2015 dedication of a new FBI building to take credit for securing the building’s funding.
“I feel very sorry for him because he feels such a need to lie on me and I’m not even his enemy,” Wilson told the newspaper. “I just can’t even imagine why he would fabricate something like that. That is absolutely insane. I’m just flabbergasted because it’s very easy to trace.”
Kelly called Wilson an “empty barrel” on Thursday in a rare appearance in the White House briefing room and criticized her for her speech at the 2015 event.
But video released Friday appears to show that Kelly was incorrect in his remarks about Wilson.
The White House defended Kelly on Friday, with White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders calling it “highly inappropriate” to criticize Kelly because of his record of military service.
"If you want to go after Gen. Kelly, that's up to you, but I think if you want to get into a debate with a four-star Marine general, I think that's something highly inappropriate,” Sanders said in a White House press briefing.
Wilson accused the White House of trying to “assassinate [her] character.”
“They are assassinating their own because everything they say is coming out and shown to be a lie,” she told the newspaper.
May she keep digging until she arrives in her Fathers lair.
That’s what happens when stupid people elect stupid representatives. Let them continue to talk and talk and eventually they show their true selves...
It’s a beautiful thing free speech. She feels like a rock star now and feels free to call everyone a white nationalist. This won’t end well for her...
Wilson is full of . . .
They could have chosen a better picture! 
AAAnnnnnddddd there you have it. Yesterday the race card fluttered out of her orifices and today the BLM battle cry utters past her crazy lips. I am sure she can work some slavery or such into the mix before she’s done.
Amen to that, brother. She keeps talking - she keeps digging, deeper and deeper.
Buy that big-mouthed lady a new hat!
Can you imagine using the term “rock star” when she is talking about an incident involving a dead hero and his very young widow .
This woman is an absolute disgrace.
.
She must be on Hillary’s payroll. She was hired to deflect maximum stupidity off of Hillary onto her. She’s doing a bang-up job of it, too!
Unfortunately, she represents a vast swath of Americans. Pure, ignorance on display.
I think Frederickas hat is full of the marbles that fall out while she is attempting that thinking thing others do.
I bet you an ex 4 star general as Trumps chief of staff has more powerful and influential friends than this ‘all hat and no beef’ congresscritter.
Just what did she think her winning play was in this? (rhetorical)
This woman needs to be in a padded cell!
You could add up the IQ of all of them and it would still be in single digits.
I, for one, do not give a damn about being labeled a racisss or whatever anymore. They created the current toxic atmosphere.
That is pretty funny for her to actually say that.
