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."
Fallon does appear on CNN, but this is just him tweeting all day and a conservative (sort of) website picking up his tweets and making them a story.
You have to figure that CNN is paying him for something, but they aren't the one's making a story out of all the guy's tweets and treating it as news.
In a way, it's us who are doing that.
Brian Fallon = gutless, shameless, weasel...
Not fit to be in the company of real men!
Just keep digging your grave Democrat we love it
What a disgusting human this Klinton enabler is.
Fallon has worked for Menendez, Hillary, Schumer and Holder. I wouldn’t believe he’s capable of speaking the truth after four jobs like that.
“Glad to see this.”
Yep - the leftist mindset out there in the open for all to see.
It’s amazing to me how bubble-insulated they are - not realizing how out of touch with reality they really are.
It’s scary to think that a Party of people as incompetent, selfish and stupid as the Dems were actually in control of this country.
Can’t answer that but this dem is a POS Military hater.
