Asked for his proof, Trump says, "Let her make her statement again." Rep. Wilson just did on Twitter

Tweet from Kyle Griffin with video showing Trump's bluff:





And Rep. Wilson calls him on it:




I still stand by my account of the call b/t @realDonaldTrump and Myesha Johnson. That is her name, Mr. Trump. Not "the woman" or "the wife."

Curious development, though; it seems that black women have developed a few more resources to fight back against Trump's bigotry and racism since Daddy's time.

of a fallen hero "the woman" or "the wife" is disgusting. She is a person you POS. She has a NAME and you are disrespecting her by not using it when referring to her. My guess is that you have not heard the last of Myeshia Johnson or Congresswoman Wilson.

one incident his baby sitters tried point out to him during the campaign was the negative ratings about his attacks on Mr Khan.

He doesn't care. Attacking POC works for his base

He has almost a defeatist tone to his voice.

He’s thinking that this whole president thing is a lot harder than he thought it would be, who knew?

His friend Vlad doesn’t have it as hard in Russia, he doesn’t have to deal with the Constitution, pesky progressives or equal rights.

39. Good point...why would Rep. Wilson repeat what she already said?
Wed Oct 18, 2017, 03:42 PM
Oct 2017

Why would that have any relevance to 45's allegation that she made it up? It's on the record, and 45 said publicly that he had "proof" she was lying (much like his "proof" that President Obama tapped his phone). 45 needs to show his "proof" or retract his smear and apologize (fat chance of that). Saying that Rep. Wilson should repeat herself is an attempt to deflect and will only work if we and the media allow that to happen. 45 already said he had proof that she was lying, and he should be raked over the coals relentlessly until he shows his hand or folds.
And his unwillingness to accord Mrs. Johnson the common courtesy of using her name instead of dismissively referring to her as "the woman" and "the wife" is reprehensible. According to Rep. Wilson, Mrs. Johnson was already upset after the belated phone call because it was clear that 45 didn't even know or remember the name of her late husband.

Megan mcCain actually defended Twitler. I liked the other conservative woman better. Megan is a lucky sperm donor moderator. If she didn’t have the last name she’d be working in some office unknown.
