    I think trump could have used any words and the three black women would take offense

    Maybe you missed it but Kelly confirmed he reporting that Trump DID say what is alleged.

    He said " Your son knew what he was getting into when he signed up".

    Trump is the only one denying that ...and he's.. well....Trump

    Kelly said that he used those words when Trump asked for advice before the call was made. How would Wilson and the family know what words Kelly said if Trump did not say those words.

    ps there is a recording of Wilson speech that Kelly commented on

    Kelly on rold us what he told trump on the subject

    As I pointed out to another poster we do not know what exact words trump used or the context of those words

    If the partisan democrat women choose to take offense when none is given or intended that is not trumps fault

    Irrelevant. Trump accused them of lying when it is now known that Trump lied and Kelly lied

    Thanks for trying, but, No. Fail. You can't scream bias and lack of objectivity, and then expect anyone to consider your conclusion objective.

    You say that the Gold Star family is lying? Because Trump says so?

    You are truly infatuated with the Great Orange Gasbag.

    Unfortunately for you and Trump, Kelly confirmed that he told Trump to use a version of that statement . Obviously Trump did and left out any trace of empathy or compassion. Also...Kelly was in the room when Trump made the call.

    Who knows what Trump meant? Now you read minds? Kelly reads minds?

    His WORDS are the issue

    Kelly did NOT "say so".

    And what Trump did or didn't say to other Gold Star families is not the issue.

    Are you now claiming Trump was only callous and disrespectful to the only black family among this group? I was not even going to go there.

    You seem to be doing just that in bringing up the other families. As noted...what was said to them has no bearing on what was said to the Johnson family unless YOU are making a case that Trump was being racist towards the only black family involved.

    You asked my why I do not believe the three women

    I mentioned the other calls trump made that went ok and you were the one who implied racism not me

    But since the congresswoman is a member of a segregated black club race may be driving her agenda

    Or it could just be that Wilson was a family friend and HAD been for 30 years.

    Oh you didn't know that?

    You don't care?

    You'd prefer to repeat your racist garbage?

    Oh....
