Wilson demands apology from Kelly for ‘character assassination'
2017-10-23
[TheHill] Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) is calling for an apology from White House chief of staff John Kelly for "character assassination."
Gotta have character to assassinate it....
"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.
How about, "I'm sorry for pointing out you are such a worthless, sorry, piece of shit"
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."

"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.

#14  She overheard the conversation because she was informed of Trumps call. This was all staged. She was given the heads up as well as the media to do a hit piece on Trump. The president doesn't make a phone call unless the person is there to receive his call.

#11  Why was Wilson scheduled to eaves drop on the call without Trump's knowledge? What financial promises were made for Wilson to be allowed to eaves drop? It was a planned smear by working together to try to collaborate a premiditated lie.

#7  Just in case you missed it, Wilson has a card and a dog!

Apologize for nothing. Continue to sink this disgusting relic of idiotic supremacy.

No quarter and NO SLACK.

#3  And I thought no one could give Sheila Jackson a run for her money to demonstrate the individual with an IQ nearest room temperature.

Are you saying Jackson and Wilson are the smartest of the bunch?
