2. It is not unusual for the member of congress to pay a visit

to the family of a fallen hero. In this case, the member of Congress went with the family to meet the plane that was returning their son's body.

I know in my family's case, our Senator (Bob Dole) personally called my parents not long after the notification officers arrived. Nixon did not call.

is that she has known the deceased for years. At least I read that somewhere. She didn't just barge in to be with a bereaved family.

if they knew at all. They happened to be enroute to receive the body and there were others in the car.

12. Once again just like clockwork, we've lost control of the narrative

A casual glance at FB and Twitter tell me:

1. Kelly would make a great POTUS

2. Wilson is a nosy attention whore opportunist for listening in on the phone call and making herself the story

3. Wilson hates veterans anyway

4. Wilson, Sgt. Johnson's widow and his mother are all lowlife ghetto black women anyway, so OF COURSE they're lying!
