Wilson demands apology from Kelly for ‘character assassination’

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) is calling for an apology from White House chief of staff John Kelly for "character assassination."

“Not only does he owe me an apology, but he owes an apology to the American people,” Wilson said during an appearance Sunday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy," according to The Washington Post.

She also referred to Kelly as a "puppet of the president."

The Florida Democrat called the deaths of four U.S. soldiers in Niger a "catastrophe."

ADVERTISEMENT "We had four soldiers who died. They have been buried," she said. "And we need to know why, and we need to know about the special circumstances surrounding [U.S. Army Sgt.] La David Johnson.”

The comments come amid an ongoing feud between Wilson and President Trump.

Wilson last week said she overheard a conversation between Trump and Johnson's widow. During that call, Wilson said Trump told the widow that Johnson "knew what he was getting into."

Trump denied the claim and has since taken to Twitter to blast the Democratic lawmaker as "wacky" and the "gift that keeps on giving" for the GOP.

Kelly last week gave an emotional press conference during which he railed against Wilson for sharing the contents of the call.

He said he was "stunned" that a member of Congress "would have listened in on that conversation."

"I would have thought that was sacred," he said.

I spoke to a lifelong Dem today who voted for Trump. He said “Enough is enough....the party is toast.” Hopefully more people realize that Dems are an absolutely appalling contingent. I say to Hill, this dope and others “Keep on talking “ and please lefty media give them all the airtime they want.

Oh man, she just keeps digging.

If anyone is owed an apology, it is the rest of the United Sates outside her district, from her constituents, for electing and re-electing this piece of human garbage.

FUFW!!!!! And your stupid hats too!

I wish that Fox News would hire up James Woods for a guest spot once a week for ten minutes of his observations.

Yes. And apparently Robert Davi is a conservative too. Add in Jon Voight (I bought his ‘89 LeBaron convertible and then he bit me).

First you have to have “character” before it can be “assassinated”.

Now I’ll agree that the “ass” in “assassinated” does apply to Cowgirl Wilson. So does the word “bullcrap”, despite the hat.

I think that last time that Cowgirl Wilson rode a horse, she was under it. (an old family joke, just in case you’re interested).
