Congresswoman Wilson's behavior has been reprehensible, and her mocking, facetious attitude displayed this morning shows she thinks she's subjected to a different standard of conduct. And I am condemning her behavior, even though she's black. Sue me.

Hallelujah! You hit the nail on the head.

Yay! That is because I have common sense, something liberals are lacking.

By the way, I have a poster who has said "you hit the nail in the head" in response to my posts before. Was that you?

This may be a cultural issue. I don't mean black or white, I mean DC/Northeast/Mid-Atlantic and elsewhere, where colorful is not an insult and is tolerated or prized in a leader or politician.

But her behavior aside, she's correct. It is inappropriate for the president to attack her, to punch back 10 times harder.

Who's to say he punched back harder? She took a private moment and used it to ridicule the president, slinging mud for all the nation to see. He simply defended himself. (I know that flies in the face of liberal preferences, where you can sling mud and call names but conservatives have to STFU.)

What! It's the Dems who are politicalicizing this. Quit lying. What do you liberals want?? You wanted him to call the soldiers families and he did. He did the best he could. I really don't know what more you guys want sometimes. Quit nitpicking so much and maybe he would be more calm.

Fact: Trump criticized a Gold Star family last summer.
Fact: The GOP had Patricia Smith, a Gold Star parent, speak at its convention last year.
Fact: Trump raised the issue of what previous Presidents did or didn't do with respect to Gold Star families.
Fact: Trump called a Gold Star family and made a grieving widow cry in a fetal position in a car.

How the fuck do you suggest this is "the liberals" fault?

This is snowflakism to the extreme - the President doesn't get a pass from the public, including the media. If he cannot handle it, he should resign.

Unbelievable.

Wilson is just playing to her brain-dead base.

Only an absolute moron could believe that the president of the United States would call the family of a soldier who died in the line of duty and disrespect that family.

Even for leftists, that's a new low.

Are you suggesting the other family members in the car, who have corroborated the account, are lying?

Nope, not me. I rarely come to the politics forum.

Please, this is a good time to focus on honoring the sacrifices of Gold Star families and those who mourn.

Next thing I know, you'll say Kelley picked on the "Congresswoman" because she's black, although I believe it's already been implied.

please keep defending her motives .

Sure, I'll defend Wilson's motives just as long as you defend a President who has disrespected multiple gold star families.

Democratic Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson is laughing and bragging after White House chief of staff John Kelly said he was “stunned” Thursday that Wilson criticized President Donald Trump’s call to the widow of a dead soldier.

“You mean to tell me that I’ve become so important…that the White House is following me and my words? This is amazing. That’s amazing. That is absolutely phenomenal. I’ll have to tell my kids that I’m a rock star now,” Wilson told Miami Fox affiliate WSVN-TV, while laughing.

She planned this the whole time. Despicable.

Dp. Thanks for posting this. In my mind, I heard “my son” perhaps due to the context of the entire situation. Thank you for clarifying this for me.

You did hear her say "my son" this morning. If she was that close to this family, she would get her face off the TV. She complains they're tired of the cameras. GTFO with that. She got them into this and she's gleefully proclaiming to be a rock star as a fabulous benefit she got out of it.

She can’t help but make it about her.

Did you say that about Patricia Smith?

Not the PP, but Patricia Smith is and was a grieving mother. Can you not see the difference between an anguished mother who lost her child and a Comgresswoman who looks to score political points wherever she can, no matter how inappropriate?

I see no difference when a decades old family friend speaks on behalf of a grieving mother who lost her child, at her request. Disparaging this gold-star family’s representative just because she is in Congress is the same as spitting directly into the face of the family.

Happy National Character Counts Week
