Rep. Frederica Wilson Claiming Trump Disrespected Her Biggest Secret Just Exposed
now you have this congresswoman who is upping the ante at every point and and I
I don't want to press too hard on what we're about to watch together and get
your response to this Trish because it isn't so much what she says it's the
fact that she's joking this is congresswoman Wilson being asked about
the entire situation and how it has elevated her in the public eye watch
this you mean to tell me that I have become so I have to tell my kids that
I'm a rockstar now so what do you think she anticipated would happen when she
put out an incomplete soundbite from the president I mean he denied it at first
and and he should have said he said it because he did but it wasn't the whole
quote um I think she anticipated exactly like this I think she anticipated
hopefully in her mind becoming a quote unquote
rockstar this was done for political purposes this was not done with the
thoughts of the family or frankly the thoughts of the country behind what
perfect Albert you can tell because Harris no one would do that I mean we're
all human beings no one would do that no one would make an example of this family
and exploit this family for their own political purposes and try and create
further divide I mean it's just it's just your own humanity right and I don't
think she showed any humanity at all in this instance well I mean President
Trump is continuing his war of words with congresswoman Wilson and the media
he tweeted today the fake news is going crazy with wacky congresswoman Wilson
Democrat who was secretly on a very personal call and gave a total lie on
content let's bring in Mary Kissel who's part of
The Wall Street Journal editorial page team and as a Fox News contributor
all right we do is John Roberts put it we have so many places to take this but
but there are a couple of important places that gold star family is hurting
and the person that they lost in that ambush in this year senators on the hill
along with the defense secretary getting ready to meet in the next 90 minutes to
figure out what happened with that operation those are the news points but
you have I understand Mary's and words to say about fake courage well I think
what you saw yesterday from mr. Kelly he's out of uniform now Israel courage
was real moral authority standing up and saying to the American people there are
some things that are sacred in this country and he wasn't just talking about
the sacrifice of the fallen you'll note later in his comments Harris he said we
used to have respect for women we used to have respect for life we used to have
respect for the church I think these comments are very
important because today we see a lot of quote unquote fake courage as I put it
you know students on campus standing up against microaggressions which are
meaningless you know media players getting gotcha moments trying to dissect
every word of you know yeah let's see if we can get Trump today instead of
standing back and really looking at you know what are the real issues that
matter the American public you know such strong comments about where the moral
compass lies let's talk about politics though Mary for just a second how do you
take the oxygen out of this story and move on to those important points that
we were talking about and oh by the way for all those other gold star families
this now elevates this one family above all of the rest and we grieve with all
of them of course we do and the way that you take the oxygen out of this heiress
is to let mr. Kelly statement stand and not say anything else because I think he
acted as the adult in the room as I said before he's got the moral authority to
speak why is that well where are we stop that look we have a president who takes
his politics very personally we know that that's who he is so he always feels
the need to respond and the Democrats always want to bait him because they
know he'll respond and you saw that just now with the tweet I think the president
should have just let mr. Kelly statements stand and if you wanted to
make a statement just say I agree with what he said
we honor our gold star families Perry and that's the end of it you know real
quickly before I let you go does this do you think policy-wise change presidents
making those calls because they have a lot of ways that they can reach out to
families not everybody gets a call we know from former presidents george w
bush and obama unfortunately there were so many more war debt at that point that
a personal call was not always an option know it look it's always a tragedy
whenever a president feels he has to write a letter to a family a gold star
family or he has to take a call that's a personal decision of how the president
handles it is mr. kelly outlined yesterday you know my hope is that we
don't get into a situation where we need to be making that many calls writing
that many levels amen to that yeah I'm Mary Kissel Wall
Street Journal editorial board thank you very much good to see you
October 4th 2017 12 US soldiers accompanied 30 troops from Nazaire on a
routine meeting with village elders in Tonga Tonga in the remote desert border
between Nisha and Mali 125 miles north of the capital Nia may the American
green berets traveled by convoy in unarmored military vehicles just as they
had done 29 times without incident over the past six months the soldiers were
ambushed after they were already in their vehicles after leaving the meeting
an estimated 50 jihadists riding motorcycles toting rocket-propelled
grenades and machine guns sprayed their convoy with gunfire the vehicles
dispersed a gunfight ensued defense secretary Jim mattis denied there was an
intelligence failure in the this specific case contact was considered
unlikely but there's a reason we have US Army soldiers there and not the peace
corps because we carry guns and so it's a reality at 30 minutes later armed
French Mirage jet fighters arrived in the militants scattered a French
helicopter flew the American wounded back to the capital a contractor
collected the three Americans killed in action sergeant la David Johnson
remained missing US officials feared he was kidnapped and asked the press to
hold off reporting US Special Operations troops were alerted us French and
Nazaire forces conducted an intense search on the ground no one's left
behind in the sense that somehow it was a desolate site we went back didn't
didn't search for this soldier nothing could be further from the truth
two days passed before sergeant Johnson's body was found a contractor
flew his body back to the capital by helicopter the Pentagon informed the
White House about the incident at 5:00 p.m. on the day of the attack two hours
later US AFRICOM based in Stuttgart Germany put out a statement quote we are
working to confirm details on the incident and we'll have more information
as soon as we can confirm facts on the ground no drones were airborne during
the routine convoy the US military says it doesn't have enough witnesses blame
the attack on a new Isis affiliate that broke from al-qaeda in October 2016 its
leader Adnan Abu Waleed is thought to be holding an
American aid worker hostage senators are demanding hearings administration's been
forthcoming up to this point about what happened there of course not that delay
as much as the non-disclosure is a cause for very great concern initially
Pentagon officials were reluctant to put out statements because they were picking
up a beacon that suggested the missing soldier sergeant la David Johnson was
engaged in evade and escape or had been taken by the enemy they feared giving
out too much information that might put the soldier's life in danger Brett and
quickly John these Special Forces troops they work with indigenous forces to try
to prevent Isis or al-qaeda or these terrorist groups from gaining hold in
that territory absolutely that's why they were out there engaging those
village elders they work with the NHIS Air Force so that Isis can't set up
bases there okay John thank you
