The national press secretary for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign castigated John Kelly on Thursday after the White House chief of staff delivered an impassioned defense of President Donald Trump's call this week to the widow of a slain soldier.
Brian Fallon sent out multiple tweets following Kelly's appearance at the White House press briefing, where he chastised Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson (Fla.) for revealing details of Trump's phone conversation with the widow of a solider killed in Niger and paid tribute to U.S. military members who volunteer to serve their country.
Kelly also made his remarks personal, discussing the trauma he experienced after learning that his son, Second Lt. Robert Kelly, was killed while serving in Afghanistan in 2010.
Fallon responded to Kelly's remarks on Twitter, calling the retired four-star Marine Corps general an "enabler of Trump" and "as odious as the rest." He also told Twitter users not to be "distracted by the uniform," appearing to suggest that Kelly should not escape criticism on the issues he discussed because he served in the military.
The former Clinton spokesman also slammed Kelly for serving as Trump's secretary of homeland security before taking on his current role as chief of staff.
Fallon then retweeted an attack on Kelly's tribute to troops who volunteer to protect the United States.
Fallon has not been afraid to share his views on Twitter this month, calling Trump a "racist" for his attacks on the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Last week, when celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain criticized Clinton's delayed response to the sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein—who Bourdain's girlfriend has accused of sexual harassment—Fallon told him to "go eat a scorpion or something."
Is Brian Fallon related to Jimmy Fallon ?
What did Brian Fallon do in the military?
Fallon, now why would you want millions of illiterate criminal immigrants living here in the US? Unless you benefit financially from the very practice of slave-labor to illegals or human-trafficking.
Keep playing the race-card. Please do!
Glad to see this. It will make Kelly even more loyal to our PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Not surprised somebody like Fallon wants to keep America from being great again.
What a bummer that there is no profanity adequate to describe these Liberal bottom-feeding traitors!!
Put a uniform on these vermin and drop them into the hills of Afganistan. May Karma give them all that they’ve earned!!

Every top White House employee is an “enabler” of his or her President. Thats their job. That includes Rhambo, Podesta, Stephanopolis, Jay Carney, and Marie Harf and an almost endless list on both sides. There are plenty more.
Failin’ Fallon thinks only Republican Presidents have “enablers.” His assertion is ridiculous.
Hmm.
Uniforms are MEANT to distract.
Yes, it’s just so unfair for President Trump and people in the room to defend him against these charges.
Once again, you have to wonder what the Democrats did, if they charge Trump with this.
They are always guilty of what they charge him with.
Another rat scumbucket.
Brian Fallon?
The paid liar?
That Brian Fallon?
Yeah. That Brian Fallon. The commie media runs to these people in a circle jerk each day, then uses what they say as breaking, breath taking news. They took a long time to describe his title.

Puke!

Probably not related ——it is a fairly common Irish name.

What uniform? He was in a suit.
This guy is nothing but pure, unadulterated HATE!! No wonder he “contributes” to CNN.
Look at his vile posts....

I don’t recall Fox News Political Contributors posting such evil, hateful things about 0, do you? Fox would’ve fired that person. CNN will promote. So sick of these hate spewing leftists.
How does this POS see anything looking out Hillary’s belly-button window? I dare him to say that to General Kelly’s face.
