A Florida woman is grieving the loss of her husband Army Sgt. La David Johnson. She's thinking about the orphaned children her husband left behind, probably wondering how she will parent a six-year-old, a toddler, and an unborn child who will never know her father.
But down in Florida, Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson is enjoying her newfound fame after she politicized the president's call to the widow. According to a local news report, Wilson is even laughing.
"You mean to tell me that I've become so important that the White House is following me and my words?" she said laughing, according to a report by Miami 7 News. "This is amazing. That's amazing. I'll have to tell my kids that I'm a rock star now."
Hours earlier, White House chief of staff John Kelly told reporters he "was stunned when I came to work yesterday morning and brokenhearted at what I saw a member of Congress doing." A former Marine Corps general, Kelly knows about sacrifice. He buried his own son, Marine 1st Lt. Robert Kelly, who was killed in 2010 while serving in Afghanistan.
"A member of Congress who listened in on a phone call from the president of the United States to a young wife, and in his way tried to express that opinion that he's a brave man, a fallen hero. He knew what he was getting himself into because he enlisted," Kelly said.
"There's no reason to enlist. He enlisted, and he was where he wanted to be, exactly where he wanted to be with exactly the people he wanted to be with when his life was taken. That was the message," Kelly concluded. "That was the message that was transmitted."
While Wilson was enjoying the media spotlight, her staff was smart enough to put out a statement on her behalf. A spokesperson said the Democrat will not be making any further comment on the issue because the focus should be on helping a grieving widow and family heal, not on her or Donald Trump." But maybe that staffer could teach Wilson some empathy. Maybe the congresswoman could even learn how to apologize — or at very least learn not to laugh publicly while a widow grieves.
She going to have lots of people masquerading as friends soon as the find out she's in line to receive $500,000 with of life insurance.
Sadly I have seen this before. People are not prepared for that windfall and they are not in their right mind just having lost a spouse.
Now she has Ferdrico Wilson taking advantage of her as well.
Despicable, but like I’ve said many times, look at the bright side: All it does is hurt the Democratic party and at the rate they are going, this is party that’s going to get itself elected out of existence. How many people do you think are far radical leftist in this country? A very small minority and Democrats are losing moderates by the ship load. My Aunt who is 77 and a life long Democrat wants absolutely nothing to do with them anymore.
Very good point. I’m sure the media will ignore that.
The way she’s laughing while saying it is just infuriating.
Someone needs to make a gif graphic of that rhinestone, dollar store cowgal saying that to post far and wide.
Agreed this definitely hurts the Democrats. I can imagine that millions of Democrats are completely turned off by how far left they’ve gone. The politicization of the NFL and entertainment has been a real turnoff as well.
Yeah I hope someone does that.
What is her district like and can we get her replaced?
She’s a classless piece of sh*t.
I’ll have to tell my kids that I’m a rock star now
********
What a pig.
She’s the whole turd...not a piece of it
Details, details.
Why let it distract from a good heart-wrenching story telling.......
She’s as much of a rock star as Milli Vanilli.
Yep; a big fat steaming pile of them.
I wonder what is about President Trump that gets all these ugly black women so worked up...
There is so much hate on the left. It’s almost unfathomable. How can we have a country when it is divided by hatred? Trump was doing his best, and trying to comfort the family of a fallen soldier. Nothing he does, short of suicide, would be acceptable in any way to the left. Even then they’d say he’d did it to avoid prosecution. It’s sick. More than sick.
An empty barrel.
>>> Absolutely despicable!
Either that, or she’s too dense to know she’s totally helping Trump’s case.
Yep, I think she’s too dense to know Trump couldn’t have planted a better mole.
No, just a rock.
The democrat base would react positively to one of their members dropping a deuce on the house floor while cursing Trump.
Perfect comparison.
