    I can't find where Sanders said Kelly was in the room LISTENING. Do you have a reference for this?

    Search Google yourself. And since when do you care about people sharing the details of a private conversation? In another thread you're defending Trump sharing details of his private conversation with Kelly, about Kelly's son, and without Kelly's permission to share it.

    You are al over the place and now you're just looking silly as hell in your effort to defend Trump.

    But why would you believe Sarah anymore than any other member of the Trump administration. We now know Trump lies and for sure Kelly lied. Why would you ever think Sarah wasn't lying. The Trump family needs a pet so at least there would be one member of the Trump administration that could be trusted.

    Kelly told us what he counseled Trump to say. It was *NOT* just the simple phrase "he knew what he signed up for".

    Your attempt to cast Trump as someone who would call up a Gold Star widow and denigrate her husband and his service is SICK! Sick and demented. Insane.

    Nothing more need be said about that!

    In all honesty, I don't care who was in the room when he called anyway. I just know Trump lied when he accused the Congresswoman of lying.

    Yes, I agree Trump is SICK, SICK, SICK. And demented for sure. He meets every criteria of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Look it up. But I am not sure he is clinically insane. Got to do more research.

    And then he draged his stooge Kelly into the dishonesty fest. Would have thought Kelly had more decency than that but guess not. Let's see if he is man enough to apologize for his lie.

    She didn't say he was LISTENING to the call. Do you have *any* proof otherwise? Or is this just another baseless accusation?

    It was also Trump's call!

    Of course he did. Kelly confirmed that Trump lied before Kelly went on to attack the congresswoman with his own lies.

    Sanders said Kelly was in the room. You need to read the transcript of the press conference from Wednesday. Did she lie when she said Kelly was there when Trump called the widow, or are you just so all over the place you don't even know what's going on anymore? Or maybe you have some evidence to show that Kelly was plugging up his ears when Trump was on the phone?

    Since Kelly was in the room and attempted to explain Trump's statement it is probable that he heard it. Of course since Trump said he had proof that the congresswoman was lying perhaps you have some other explanation of what Trump has as proof. Or was Trump just lying one more time.

    You don't *KNOW* that Kelly didn't give Trump permission!

    Talk about looking silly! Still making things up in order to criticize Trump!

    Did you read your own reference? ""knew what he signed up for … but when it happens, it hurts anyway."

    That is *NOT* what is Trump is being castigated for having said! You think this is somehow denigrating the soldier and his death!

    You found an article I couldn't. Good for you!

    But it only confirms what Kelly said about Trump calling to console, not to castigate. Rep Wilson is *still* lying!

    You asked me for a link to something that proved that Sanders said Kelly was in the room. I did that. You should thank me for the link and move on.

    Kelly never said he did give him permission. If he had, he would have said it. Right? Yes.

    I know this hurts your feelings that we aren't all weeping like you are that Trump's image was hurt, but you should get used to it. That's what message boards are all about. By the way, you know that Trump doesn't even know you exist, right? Your loyalty and hysterics are unfounded. Stop acting like you have a crush on him. It's unseemly coming from an adult.

    Sgt. La David T. Johnson’s mother, Cowanda Jones-Johnson, told The Washington Post that she was present during the call from the White House on Tuesday to Johnson’s widow, Myeshia Johnson. She also stood by an account of the call from Rep. Frederica S. Wilson (D-Fla.) that Trump told Myeshia Johnson that her husband “must have known what he signed up for.”

    Trump tweets:
    The Fake News is going crazy with wacky Congresswoman Wilson(D), who was SECRETLY on a very personal call, and gave a total lie on content!
    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...-version-call-army-widow-total-lie/782983001/

    Johnson's mother said Wilson's statement was accurate. Trump then said it was a "total lie". So he is also calling this gold star mother a liar.

    A real class guy you're defending.

    So what? She hasn't said anything nor would I expect a grieving widow in that situation to.

    Kelly talked about what the president "tried to say" during the call, and his press secretary said Kelly (and others) were present during the call. I gave the links for both in my prior post.

    You're arguing that Kelly and Sanders were both lying?

    Why are you supposed to believe that?

    We don't know what donald said, except we know that Wilson said he said that "he must've know what he was getting into" and that his mother corroborated it, and that Kelly, who was in the room, didn't deny it, and in fact coached him on what to say.

    And we know donald claimed Wilson "totally fabricated" what he said, and that he had "proof," and that he has utterly failed to produce this proof he claimed he had.

    And we know donald has a long history of serial lying.

    Trump lies over one year 8/1/16 to 7/31/17

    Amazon has a "no-tax monopoly."

    CNN’s ratings are "way down."

    "This Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story. It's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should've won."

    Before the presidential campaign, "I didn't know Steve (Bannon)."

    Terrorism and terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe have "gotten to a point where it's not even being reported."

    "If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House wait so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?"

    There was "serious voter fraud" in Virginia.

    There was "serious voter fraud" in New Hampshire.

    There was "serious voter fraud" in California.

    Says he "won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally."

    Says that at a campaign rally President Barack Obama "spent so much time screaming at a protester, and frankly it was a disgrace."

    Says Hillary Clinton "wants to let people just pour in. You could have 650 million people pour in and we do nothing about it. Think of it. That’s what could happen. You triple the size of our country in one week."

    "Wikileaks also shows how John Podesta rigged the polls by oversampling Democrats, a voter suppression technique."

    When Hillary Clinton "ran the State Department, $6 billion was missing. How do you miss $6 billion? You ran the State Department, $6 billion was either stolen — they don't know."

    "It’s possible that non-citizen voters were responsible for Obama’s 2008 victory in North Carolina."

    "Of course, there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day."

    "We don't have any" chess grandmasters in the United States.

    Says he won the second debate with Hillary Clinton "in a landslide" in "every poll."

    Says a tweet he sent out "wasn’t saying, ‘check out a sex tape.’ It was just ‘take a look at" the background of Alicia Machado.

    “Our African-American communities are absolutely in the worst shape they've ever been in before. Ever. Ever. Ever."

    Says a tweet he sent out "wasn’t saying, ‘check out a sex tape.’ It was just ‘take a look at" the background of Alicia Machado.

    "I finished" the controversy about where President Barack Obama was born.

    “My opponent has no child care plan."

    Says Hillary Clinton has "not answered a single question" about her immigration plan.

    The number of illegal immigrants "could be 3 million. It could be 30 million."
    Donald Trump is wrong that 'inner-city crime is reaching record levels'

    Says the U.S. election system is "rigged."

    Says Barack Obama "founded ISIS. I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton."

    "Hillary Clinton says she wants to, ‘raise taxes on the middle class.’ "

    "I’m beating (Kelly Ayotte) in the polls by a lot."

    "We have a fire marshal that said, 'Oh we can't allow more people’ ... And the reason they won't let them in is because they don't know what the hell they're doing."

    Really.

    I didn't say anything about Obama calling anyone. What are you blathering about?

    Now you're making **** up again. You've made this false claim several times now.

    Prove to the board you're not making **** up and link and quote and link my post where I claimed "he called a Gold Star widow just to denigrate her husband and his service"

    Fabricating what others say is intellectually dishonest, and a sure sign of someone who cannot defend their position.

    But a tactic we see all too often here.

    He apparently thinks that Kelly and Sanders were lying about Kelly being in the room, that Wilson was lying about what Trump said, and the dead soldier's mother was lying when she said Wilson's account was accurate.

    In other words, everybody's lying but donald, who is a serial, pathological liar.

    All the while while fabricating what other members have said.

    About par for the donald adorers.

    It's called Trump Derangement Syndrome, but not in the way the ones who suffer from it like to toss it around. TDS is real. And all of the loyal Trump devotees suffer from it.

    Again, this is the argumentative fallacy of Argument from Silence. Silence neither confirms or denies anything. Silence is not evidence of anything.

    The left today, including you, have nothing to offer but false news, lies, and false claims about Trump.

    Wilson *did* lie about what Trump said. She is lying by omission. Rep Wilson wants everyone to believe Trump called the widow to gloat over her husbands death!

    And you sucked the koolaid right down.

    The statement "he knew what he signed up for" is totally different than "he knew what he signed up for and he died as a hero".

    Rep Wilson wants us to believe the first statement shows how callous and unempathetic Trump is. The second statement would show how Trump *is* empathetic and respectful.

    It's that simple. Now, tell everybody which statement you've heard all day today!
