Rep. Frederica Wilson laughs that controversy over Gold Star widow has made her 'a rock star'
Washington Examiner ^ | October 19, 2017 | Philip Wegmann

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.

There are no “rock stars.” Rock is dead. And this ugly black *itch in the clown suit has made an international fool of herself.

To see MSNBC and CNN treat this sordid circus freak seriously is disturbing. She is an imbecile and a jerk. Yet, the truth is she represents the Democrat Party perfectly.

Does it bother her that her behavior increases negative feelings toward black Americans? On the contrary, she’s happy about it. She gains political power from bad feelings between the races.

I have to paraphrase the Harry Truman comment about a prominent Pubbie - “the bitch is no good!”

She is a LIEberal, noxious, venomous harridan!

LIEberal (because LIEberals LIE!);
noxious (“she is harmful to living things: toxic”);
venomous (“she expresses very strong hatred or anger”); harridan (“she is an angry and unpleasant woman: a shrew.”)

Wilson is a “rock star” all right but what kind is interesting.

* Rocks are used to weight down garbage bags thrown overboard at sea. She could be a “trashbag rock” star.

* Rocks are used to hurt and kill the police. That sounds more like this insane Congressthing.

* Rocks are used to break the windows of synagogues by black anti-semites. Needs looking into re Wilson.

* “Rocks” are often symbolized to represent the dense brains of people like Wilson, i.e. “rocks in their heads”. That could explain why she wears a cowgirl hat in Florida.

* And lastly, there is the “Crocodile Rock”. It is a “rock” characterized by “Crocodile tears” and being a “C-rock full of c-rap”.

Whatever Wilson is, she should never be called sane, truthful, or an understanding person. But then, again, she’s a Democrat, black, politician so anything goes with those who have no morals, ethics, common sense, respect for the military and their personnel, and have a Hillary Clinton-type inflated ego of their importance while betraying our military personnel for personal gain.

I hope a ‘Gator gets her a la Jerry Reed. On second thought, that would kill the gator. You can’t eat poisonous meat and survive, esp. that of a Democratic politician.

I’ll take a Water Moccasin for $1,000, Alex.

I can firmly tell you all this:

Sgt. La David Johnson would not have wanted this controversy.

RIP Sgt Johnson

Completely fake news. After listening to Kelly it’s clear that Trump was repeating what Kelly told him. Kelly explicitly said that some Presidents call, some write and that is NOT a criticism. When Trump said the same thing the media assumed he was attacking Obama and went into Obama defense mode and THAT is what made it political (you can argue that the question was trying to politicise things but I digress). The media thinks Trump is pure evil and so they immediately thought he was trying to attack Obama. The media politicised this because they think Trump has a heart three sizes too small

Let me break this down as the term “rock star” refers to mini- Maxine: rock - yes, she is dumber than a rock and star - a big ball of gas. So, according to my defiitons, she is a rock star. sarc.

She can tell her kids she’s a ‘rock star’ - but she has been called out as the scum she is - on National TV - wonder how her kids will take that...

She’s had her “15 minutes” and now goes down on the record as scum.

IOW, her dogma just caught
up to her karma.
