    The story I read was the convo was on Speaker Phone .
    The president calling the family is a big deal
    The soldier's parents were there too . . . . .
    As their congress woman . . . evidently she was there too
    When the statement was made . . . .since it was a phone call
    . . .. she probably saw something in the demeanor of the family
    That Trump on his end could not see . . . . . .

    She spoke on it . .. . .

    Genuinely no disrespect intended, I just get sucked into the D&D too easily. My bad.

    No, "we" don't accept the quality of the product. We just have no recourse in a free market where some people started with unearned billions and others started with unearned 0.

    Anyways I mistook your quote for attributing some strange kind of efficiency to the free market and you've corrected me since. Thanks for the convo!

    Listening to Kelly's comments he doesn't contradict what Rep. Wilson said about the call. It sounds like that Kelly had counseled the President on what to say and in typical Trump manner he mangled it.

    Also as far as if this was a dirty tactic on the part of Rep. Wilson the family hasn't said that they were offended by her listening in on the call and it sounds like she was there as a friend of the family and they are fine with her speaking out on it.

    Kelly made a good and moving speech regarding what happens to fallen US soldiers it doesn't change my view that he can't express empathy because he doesn't really have a sense of it.

    Is Kelly a Low-life for lying about the Congresswoman and smearing here unjustly?

    I didn't know that FoxNews anchors were anti-trump posters.

    Seriously though.... you can't even follow the story. You just come here and start attacking, and trying to throw Trump-like counterpunches at scapegoats like the petty little minion that you are. The Idiot & Chief opened this can of worms when he took one question from a reporter about calling the families, and a question about what the hell happened in Niger, and decided LIKE YOU ARE DOING NOW that under any and every scenario, he's gotta find someone on the left to attack. In that case it was Obama who Trump blamed like a coward, and in this case you are making this about us because like Trump you are incapable of relating to another human being enough to have a constructive conversation.

    That's not called being a counter-puncher by the way... that's just the mark of a coward, and a narcissist. You are such a small small little man who has to stand on the back of a bigger coward who happens to have power just so you can feel like a more important person.

    When you're unhinged everything is a story.

    Because Trump is in their heads like nobody in history has ever been to another group of people.

    It's insensitive to say this, but Rep Frederica Wilson likely has an IQ in the bottom 5% of all Americans. Most people won't admit it but it's undeniable.


    GOOD DAY

    You're in a wrong thread. Last time I checked the topic of this thread was something that has been proven false. Just like a bunch of idiots you attach yourself to anything anti Trump.
