Watch this if nothing else today.



quote:
White House chief of staff John Kelly lashed out at Rep Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) on Thursday, saying he was "stunned" by her negative description of President Trump's call to the wife of a U.S. soldier “I was stunned when I came to work yesterday morning,” he told reporters during an impromptu appearance at the White House press briefing, adding he was “broken hearted” over the negative publicity surrounding the call. Wilson revealed that Trump told the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson her husband “knew what he was getting into.” “I would have thought that was sacred," Kelly said of Trump's conversation with Myeshia Johnson. Wilson was present for the call. Wilson’s statements “eroded [it] a great deal," said Kelly, a retired general who lost a son.
He asked me about previous presidents and I said I could tell you that President Obama — who was my commander in chief when I was on active duty — did not call my family,” he stated. “That was not a criticism. That was just to simply say I don’t believe President Obama called. That’s not a negative thing. I don’t believe President Bush called in all cases. I don’t believe any president particularly when the casualty rates are very, very high that presidents call. I believe they all write.”
He then explained that after he told that to Trump three days ago, the president decided to make phone calls to the families of the four earlier this month. Kelly also noted that the president asked him how to make those calls.

I posted essentially the same thing in the President Trumo thread because it revolves around his actions in reaching out to Gold Star families, the sick BS spread by this turd of a congresswoman, and his Chief of Staff's reaction.

Thanks for this Bama. Very moving. Frederica Wilson is no friend of the military, hates President Trump, and will do anything to get press for herself,and tear down and degrade the Trump adminstration whenever she can like the majority of members of the CBC.

I'm so happy to know that this man is at President Trump's side and has his back...and our back for that matter.

I hope he's around for a long while.

Frederica Wilson is a POS, and I'm personally embarrassed 'any' voters in my state were stupid enough to think this buffoon was qualified to do anything more than clean the restrooms in the capital building. If anyone should resign from Washington, it should be this moron.

And yes, John Kelly is an honorable man all of us should be listening to on this topic.

Thanks for the General Kelly video. Unbelievable someone would be such a scumbag and listen in on the call and try to use it for political gain by lying about what the president said. On a side note I just watched Taking Chance on HBO Now a couple weeks ago. Very moving film.

It turns out the Florida Democrat who criticized President Trump this week for making insensitive remarks toward the widow of a fallen U.S. soldier doesn’t exactly have a great track record herself when it comes to helping veterans.
Congresswoman Frederica Wilson has repeatedly voted against bills that help veterans and their families, according to VoteSmart.org.

Excellent post Bama. I didn’t plan on watching the whole thing. Very glad I did. It adds much needed perspective to this story.

that was moving. we are lucky to have such men willing to continue to serve our country.

response from Rep Wilson was:

"John Kelly's trying to keep his job. He will say anything," says @RepWilson in response to Trump's staff chief who ripped her for disclosing details of controversial call with soldier's widow. "There were other people who heard what I heard." http://politi.co/2xRl4xw

Keep digging dumbass... being in FL, you'll hopefully drown in your own effluvium.

Thank you for posting that video Bama. It was a very powerful message from a man who's been there, done that and who would fall on his sword before ever disrespecting the fallen or his commander in chief. It's nice to know that Trump has placed him so close to himself and his staff. I hope the witch from Florida sees this, not that it would change her evil heart.

Jim

For the record!

My oldest grandson is in Special Forces. He has deployed to Afcrapistan 5 times. He has 2 purple hearts and still requires more surgery. He deployed needing 2 corrective surgeries.

He also has been awarded the Bronze Star (V). His command staff wanted (4 times) to submit him for the Silver Star and he refused, saying he had done nothing more than any other member of his team would have done.

My youngest grandson is medically retired from the army due to injuries received on duty.

I have absolutely no tolerance for these fucking idiot democraPs who take every opportunity to do as much damage as possible to our country and more specifically to those HEROES who go into harm's way in keeping the bad guys "over there".

Seems to me that we, as a nation, have a choice. We can fight them over there, or over here.

My choice would be that it is over there.

I have to confess that my screen got all blurry while watching Gen. Kelly's address.

we really need to do something as a country to rid the nation of vermin like Wilson

she represents the worst of America not the best

what does she actually do every day to make America better?

I can't think of a damned thing

there needs to be retribution against people like this that sends a clear message that says their behavior and attitudes won't be tolerated

she's a politician and that merely adds to the outrage and disgust and shouldn't be used as a shield from the consequences - she had a right to say what she did, she also has a right to suffer the consequences

and I hope the consequences are swift, debilitating and permanently painful

That woman is an absolute embarrassment to the state of Florida. She is not worth the spit of a service member. The people who voted for her are clueless. If this shit keeps up Florida will have as many crazies in Congress as California.

Thank you for posting this, I had not seen it. As many on the forum know I lost my brother in Iraq in 2004. This past June there was a private reception for gold star families at the Whitehouse. Members of my family were part of that reception. It was a private tour, catered lunch, an audience with the president, first lady and General Kelly. It was not something that the president had to do, but something that he wanted to do. There was only one rule for those who attended, no mention to the media beforehand.

Hearing the congresswoman and the media carry on now about a phone call that didn't have to be made is absolutely disgusting. What is being portrayed is so far away from the respect and gratitude that my family was shown leaves me at an absolute loss for words.
