    Anyone who supports Wilson needs to do some research on her record. But it's a free country so you can support any fool. It's obvious from what she did she is a political hack. Now the media loves her. Neither she or the media have any shame. Gen Kelly put her in her place. Good for him. That action needs to be done more often by good people.

    Note to criticizers -- If you have never had the duty to tell a family member that a loved one was killed (I have) then maybe you should shush up.

    Walk up to anyone and take one out of context phrase from a five minute call they made as if that was the whole call and you'll get worse. You and yours aren't fooling anyone on this. Doody Hat is suffering meme BBQ all over the net, and -that's- what matters today, not the discredited MSM or nutty impeachment hollering Congresswomen. I originally thought this would be dropped like the Khizr Khan hoax, but it makes at least a weak deflection from the uranium scandal, so now expect journolist (or whatever succeeded it) to push this until they do maximum damage... to themselves. LOL.

    Neither of us were there and we do not know the exact words trump used

    But I believe Kelly who says trump did not disrespect the soldier

    Take a look at and also listen to Wilson, then take a look at and also listen to Kelly. You'll see and hear a kook and a statesman. Choose your side.

    This is fake news and the thread should be placed in the trash.

    You are so gullible!

    Will Trump understand why the left turns everything into a smear? Probably does. I think he reads character pretty good.

    IF a person wasn't already on a witch-hunt. one might look at this (and most everything the left screws up) with a more open mind.
    Now we will assume (as I wasn't party to the conversation) that Trump did say "He knew what he signed up for".
    Note that the concept of "Getting himself killed is his responsibility, not mine" IS NOT anything Trump said- that's pure left self-serving fertilizer..


    "He knew what he signed up for" might also be taken to say that he volunteered for this kind of risk- the essence of heroism, to knowingly put your life on the line. That is a very high compliment.

    Of course, no leftist is going to hear that, it doesn't fit the primary objective of making everything ugly. The game is "Gotcha:", finding anything that can be used for mud. Says a lot more about the people who throw it than it does about the target they throw it at.

    For how you and many other Democrats are trying to use and capitalize on a dead Marine and his mother's grief you might as well be pissing on that Marine's grave so you can post a YouTube video of doing so.

    But that is what many Democrats do. The create something never said or that never happened out of thin air - ie they lie - and then rant about their lie, giving each other likes for the rant about their own lie. Thousands of messages and hundreds of new threads like this one are exactly that and nothing else.

    The phony outrage of the black females is based on a lie

    I dont thonk trump intended to insult the dead soldier

    Not at all

    And its possible that the widow was genuinely offended though no insult was intended

    But I think the congresswoman is grandstanding

    If I were trump I would be wary of extending condolences to gold stsr families unless I were sure of their political bias

    Calamity Jane started the whole thing. Now she thinks she's a rock star. Talk about a "bottom of the barrel" congresswoman. You can't fix stupid.

    I agree, but I don't think that Trump should call anymore, because he has no empathy or compassion, and it shows. The family's political
    bias has no bearing as to a condolence call. It was the Congresswoman in the car who has the bias, and her timing for the reaming
    was ill advised.

    It's a humane thing for the commander-in-chief to call the family of a killed warrior. President Trump should continue to do it and not let leftist Wilson destroy an honorable tradition. When someone in my family was killed I appreciated each and every phone call offering condolences. Wilson is an evil woman.

    I freaking hate Trump and I am starting to beleive you.

    The fact that THIS is turning into some massive news story is a joke at best

    When at the same time "What difference does it make" with Hillary was completely ignored by the Left and the Right didn't use it to attack the soldiers families personally.

    Which lie? It has been confirmed that the words used as reported by Wilson were true, It has also been shown that the latest attack by Kelly to discredit Wilson were lies as a video has been released showing the speech given by Wilson that he attacked. Trump is poisonous

    I don't take a "comparison" as an attack. I take a lie as an attack.

    Out of one side of your mouth...

    Oh by the way...Kelly confirmed what Wilson and the soldier's widow said....making Trump not only a liar for claiming he didn't say but but a despicable piece of shyte for claiming that the widow lied
