Trump Calls Grieving Widow of Soldier Killed in Niger: ‘He Knew What He Signed Up For’

Yes, we have to wait till the audit to finish.

He fails to provide proof when challenged . . . . flip flops ,
don't know what he mean by ''let her make her statement again''.
and then you will find out.




President Donald Trump continued to insist that Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) “totally fabricated” her account of his Tuesday phone call with Myeshia Johnson, the widow of the late Army Sgt. David Johnson — but he declined to offer evidence to prove his claims when asked by reporters on Wednesday.

As reported by the Wall Street Journal’s Rebecca Ballhaus, Trump was asked for the “proof” he promised existed that would back up his claim that Wilson lied about him telling Johnson that her late husband “knew what he signed up for” when he joined the Army.

“I didn’t say what that congresswoman said,” Trump insisted. “I did not say what she said.”

Trump also issued a veiled threat to Wilson and dared her to “make her statement again and then you will find out.”

WHO IS REP. FREDERICA WILSON?

Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson, a reliably liberal Democrat, has been a member of Congress since 2011.

Wilson, 74, was among more than 60 Democrats who skipped President Trump's inauguration in January. At the time she said her god-daughter's wedding conflicted with the event.

The perennially cowboy-hatted lawmaker has earned a reputation for missing other events as well – notably, votes on the House floor.

The Broward New Times reported in 2011 that no member of Florida's congressional delegation missed more votes that year than she did.

Wilson skipped 117 out of 948 votes that year.

Her tenure in Congress has led her to weigh in on issues of race and social justice, including in 2013 when she authored a congressional resolution 'honoring the life of Trayvon Martin' and calling the case one of 'racial profiling.'

And she told a town hall meeting in 2011 that conservative Republicans were responsible for the high rate of African-American unemployment.

'Let us all remember who the real enemy is ... the real enemy is the Tea Party ... the Tea Party holds the Congress hostage,' she said.

Wilson is among the Florida congressional delegation's wealthiest members, reporting more than $1.5 million in assets on her government financial disclosure form.

Trump has threatened people with fictitious tapes going back well before Comey in his business career.

He is an outright con-artist to a typical person (excepting lawyers etc. here) and being quite a big old racist of course I have a concern about the black senator's slightly different wordings. Ok her cowboy hat outfit worries me

Trump needs to produce a tape this time. That will not make him honest but he needs this one.

Trump has said "knew what they signed up for" in the past and it was always followed up with (in same sentence) something along the lines...they do it anyway for love of country/bravery. This is exactly what happened here.

This lowlife Rep. Frederica Wilson is a known racist and will turn this into another race baiting fiasco,that's what she does,period.

Trump isn't a wordsmith and the lunatic left loves to have a laugh when he screws up (even tho everyone knows what he meant) .

Now the lunatic left is showing fake outrage ,which is disgusting, because they hate the military and don't care at all about the death of this soldier,it's all about politics and making Trump a one term president.

The lunatic left is disgusting to the core.

Bla bla bla meh tape or will it be a "very reliable person" who witnessed it. BRING US THE TAPE TRUMP!

Does Trump gives a damn or is this more zone flooding? Maybe the last gold star tangle forced him to send the photos of his nude wife to friendly publication the NYPost, but he is president now.

If he produces real evidence great, another bluff and he is not changing.

It would be great to get either a recording or an accredited transcript of this call. Only after that would the majority of people believe one side or the other in this situation.

There isn't any recording. As usual the White House has to cover for him. Sad.




White House walks back Trump claim that Dem fabricated remarks to widow — now says he was ‘misunderstood’

President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning accused Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) of “totally fabricating” her account of the president’s remarks to Myeshia Johnson, the widow of the late Army Sgt. David Johnson.

However, an anonymous White House official tells The Sentinel that Trump was simply “misunderstood” when he told Johnson that her late husband “knew what he signed up for” when he joined the Army.

“This president cares deeply,” the official explains. “Maybe he said something that was misunderstood, but he certainly cares about fallen servicemen and women.”

The admission that Trump may have said something that was misinterpreted by Johnson’s family is a contradiction of Trump’s insistence on early Wednesday that he had “proof” that Rep. Wilson was lying about the entire exchange.

“Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof),” Trump originally wrote on Twitter. “Sad!”
