Anyone get the feeling that Trump doesn't care about telling you the truth about anything? Then John Kelly bashes the credibility of the congresswoman to deflect from this obvious lie of the president. That administration is a transparent bunch of fools!

That's not what trump told the wife, that was what kelly was telling trump....whether trump said those words is unknown...

Damn talk about twisting a story....

dude, stay classy.

I know you liked to make wild untrue accusations, but Kelly did not allow "this" to happen to a grieving family.

Stay classy, man.

Cowanda Jones-Johnson, Lara Trump, and General Kelly all support Congresswoman Wilson report.

Trump claims he has proof.

Then let's see it.

He stated he advised Trump not to make the calls. Trump did anyway.

Kelly did not have to get up on that podium and try to explain why Trump might have said what he did.

Kelly did not have to lie about Congresswoman Wilson.

He could have stood up on that podium and said it was not honorable to treat Gold Star families this way and he wouldn't be a part of it.

He did not.

Oct. 6 - Pentagon reports that Sgt. Johson's body was recovered a mile from the fight.

Trump doesn't tweet or say anything about the ill-fated military operation or the 4 dead Green Berets until:

Oct. 16 - When asked at a press conference about Niger, Trump responds by accusing Obama of not phoning families.

Oct. 17 - Congresswoman Wilson reports that she was in the car when Trump called Sgt. Johnson's widow and made insensitive remarks.

Oct. 18 - Trump calls Wilson a liar. Insists he didn't say what she reported.

Oct. 18 - Cowanda Jones-Johnson, who raised Johnson and also listened to the call, tells CNN that Wilson's account of the call was "very accurate."

Oct. 19 - Kelly takes the WH press podium, supports Wilson's version and tries to explain why Trump might have said what he did. Then he lies in some detail about a speech he witnessed Wilson give. Video of the speech emerges that proves Kelly lied.

Oct. 19 - McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, states it may require a subpoena to obtain information.

Oct. 20 - Lara Trump, on Fox & Friend, stated she has seen the transcript of the call. Her description of what was said is consistent with Wilson’s account.

Oct. 21 - Funeral for Sgt. La David Johnson.
You forgot this,

I have no words for you.

You need to stay classy and leave Kelly's son and his grief alone.

It is obvious you are very passionate about this topic, I have no ideas why and I don't want to know why.

Have you lost anybody in combat? You need to leave people's grief alone, man, you really do.

Trump drew Kelly into this mess. Not me.

Kelly got up on that podium and lied about Wilson. Not me.

If Kelly wanted to keep his grief private, he should have told Trump to shut up. He did not.

Each person is responsible of his or her actions. Kelly is not Trump's dad, even a dad cannot control his adult son.

Nothing changed the fact that you posted this

As the parent of a son lost in combat, you'd think he'd have more compassion than to allow this to happen to this grieving family.


dude, you need to stay classy.

i know you hate Trump, and it is okay if you do. But you don' t have to post something so hateful about Gen Kelly. He lost his son and his grief is genuine. He's also a gold star dad in case you forgot.

https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article...-anyone-behind

Regardless of what the Pentagon spokesman said, Sgt. Johnson was left behind.

They knew he had been left behind the second they did the head count during the rescue and evacuation.

They were tracking his locator beacon until they lost the signal.

Two days later, they recovered his body.

Sgt. Johnson was left behind when the rest of them took off.

I don't doubt that his grief is genuine.

What difference does that make?
