Gold star father Kelly rips congresswoman who eavesdropped on Trump's call to soldier's widow

US. Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) is a sneaky leftist who eavesdropped on a private conversation between President Donald J. Trump and the widow of a soldier who was recently killed in action in Niger and then took one of the commander-in-chief's comments way of out context. Assuming, of course Trump said what the Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferer said what she claims he did.

"He knew what he signed up for" is what Wilson is telling the media Trump told the widow, which the president denies.

Trump's chief-of-staff is Marine General John Kelly (Retired). He's a gold star father who eviscerated Wilson in an emotional press briefing this afternoon.

From The Hill:
Kelly said he was "stunned" by Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson's (Fla.) negative description of Trump's call to the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed during an ambush in Niger.

"It stuns me that a member of Congress would have listened in on that conversation. Absolutely stuns me. I would have thought that was sacred," Kelly said during a surprise appearance in the White House press briefing room.

After learning of what he called Wilson's "selfish behavior," Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general whose son was killed in battle in Afghanistan, said he was so taken aback that he walked for an hour and a half in Arlington National Cemetery to compose himself.

"He was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed," Kelly remembered being told by his casualty officer, Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford, who is now chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “He knew what he was getting into by joining that one percent," he added. "He knew what the possibilities were because we're at war."
The left-wing media earlier this week pounced on the president's comment that Barack Obama didn't call the families of every soldier killed in action. Trump is right--as Kelly's family didn't get a call when the general's son was killed on the battlefield. And in the last few days media members have been contacting the families of soldiers slain in battle since Inauguration Day to find out if Trump called them.

Much of the media is total scum. Have they no sense of decency?

Below is the complete clip of what Kelly said today.
