Frederica Wilson vs. Trump and Now John Kelly? EasyGo With Wilson
The South Florida congresswoman was in Myeshia Johnsons car because she had known La David Johnson since he was a schoolboy. She. Is. Not. Lying.

Frederica Wilson is no liar. On Thursday, Gen. John Kelly, President Trumps chief of staff, confirmed that. Kelly also made clear that he works for a man who has redefined the meaning of shameless.
The Florida congresswoman is the latestand pointedly, the latest woman and person of colorto be attacked by Trump for daring to tell the truth about him. She joins a roster that includes broadcaster Jemele Hill, the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and before that, a Latina former Miss Universe. Now add in Hillary Clinton and the more than a dozen women who have accused Trump of sexual harassment or assault. Trump has attacked or threatened a few men too, notably black NFL and NBA stars, Gold Star father Khizr Khan (along with his wife), decorated Vietnam War veteran John McCain and other United States senators, but he typically reserves his greatest vitriol for those who arent white and male. Were all still waiting for the presidents sure-to-be-blistering response to Eminem.
Trump on Wednesday used one of his increasingly frequent press availabilities to essentially call Wilson a liar, after she told the world what he said to the widow of Staff Sgt. La David T. Johnson; one of four special forces soldiers killed during a still murky mission in Niger. Wilson first gave her account to local reporters in Miami who met the limousine carrying her, Myeshia Johnson and Staff Sgt. Johnsons adoptive parents to the funeral home to claim the body of the fallen soldier. Apparently, the White House had alerted the media that he would call Johnsons widow, evidently hoping to reap some rare good press for the most hated president in modern U.S. history.
She later repeated what she heard to national news outlets and to this reporter.

But he's white, so that makes it all better. Not that he could understand rhymes that he free-styled, which was very good.
Trump and his press conferences with the cabinet he is wrapping his arms around himself like he wants his mommy to hold him 'cause he's gonna throw a tantrum.
