Rep. Frederica Wilson is despicable. She’s using a grieving family to prop herself up. She basically admitted it herself. Who else– following this drama– would proudly say, “I’m a rock star now”?

She should be ashamed of herself, but she’s not. She’s even stepping up her hat game, and YES. She looks like a rodeo clown (which is actually an insult to rodeo clowns). Big Bird is clearly her fashion inspiration.
I mean, Halloween is right around the corner…
Is this her way of “dressing for success”? She looks ridiculous.
Please see Kimber’s rant on this. It’s perfection.
Wilson’s not only stepping up her costume game. She’s stepping up her rhetoric.
If you recall, Chief of Staff John Kelly addressed reporters and explained what it was like when he received a knock on his own door. He said his son “was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed.”
“He knew what he was getting into by joining that 1 percent. He knew what the possibilities were because we were at war,” he added.
That’s essentially what President Trump said during the “controversial” phone call. I have no doubt in my mind that President Trump loves and adores those who serve.

Naturally, liberals decided to call Kelly a racist. That’s what they do when they realize they’re losing an argument.
Wow. @Lawrence scorched General Kelly tonight, including calling out his segregated Boston upbringing and dehumanization of a black woman.

Wow wow wow. @lawrence noted that Gen. Kelly didn’t even give @RepWilson the dignity of using her name.

Kelly grew up in segregated Boston, in an Irish Catholic neighborhood where women were bullied, not honored, and blacks scorned & rejected.

.@Lawrence grew up in that same neighborhood. But clearly he grew to become something else.

Now Wilson is joining in. She’s taking it to the next level completely. Almost everyone is the White House is a white supremacist, so THERE!
“The White House itself is full of white supremacists,” Wilson told the New York Times.
It makes sense. I mean White House. White. See? (I know that has nothing to do with it. I’m just trying to argue like a liberal.)
“They are making themselves look like fools. They have no credibility,” she said.
Says the woman dressed as Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl.
MSM is busy focusing on a claim Kelly made during his brief appearance– a claim they’ve determined to be false.
Kelly claimed during a press briefing Thursday that Wilson had said “she got the money” for a new FBI building during a ceremony in 2015 honoring the heroism of FBI agents killed in a shootout with bank robbers in Miami. Kelly also criticized her reaction to President Trump’s condolence call to a Gold Star widow this week.
“A congresswoman stood up, and in a long tradition of empty barrels making the most noise, stood up there in all of that and talked about how she was instrumental in getting the funding for that building, and how she took care of her constituents because she got the money, and she just called up President Obama, and on that phone call, he gave the money, the $20 million, to build the building, and she sat down,” Kelly told reporters.
Wilson refuted Kelly’s remarks Thursday night and said the money had already been approved even before she became a member of Congress. The legislation she had sponsored had been enacted three days before the August 2015 ceremony.
A video has been released, suggesting that Kelly “misrepresented a 2015 speech she made at the opening of a new FBI building in Miramar.” That’s what MSM is focusing on now. Forget EVERYTHING ELSE HE SAID. Forget the POINT of his remarks.
“They are trying to assassinate my character, and they are assassinating their own because everything they say is coming out and shown to be a lie,” she added.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended Kelly.
“Gen. Kelly said he was ‘stunned’ that Rep. Wilson made comments at a building dedication honoring slain FBI agents about her own actions in Congress, including lobbying former President Obama on legislation,” Sanders said in a statement. “As Gen. Kelly pointed out, if you’re able to make a sacred act like honoring American heroes about yourself, you’re an empty barrel.”
By the way. Wilson decided that “empty barrel” is racist.
“That’s a racist term, too. I’m thinking about that one. We looked it up in the dictionary because I had never heard of an empty barrel,” she told CNN.
Do you hear that? She looked it up in the dictionary to SEE IF IT WAS RACIST. That’s the level of desperation we’re dealing with here.
“And I don’t like to be dragged into something like that,” Wilson added. “The only thing I want to be dragged into right now is getting back our girls who are the victims of Boko Haram in Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, MSM continues to ignore the POINT of Kelly’s address: Trump didn’t do anything wrong. He wasn’t careless. He wasn’t flippant. He didn’t disrespect a grieving family. But notice that the argument isn’t about that anymore. Liberals are now on to the next thing: Everyone in the White House is RAAAAAAAAACIST.
That’s how you know they’re losing the argument. “Crap. He made a good point. Quick! Call someone racist!” And just like that, they have a new narrative and don’t have to address the fact that they were wrong in the first place.
Rinse, repeat.
