Trump: 'Wacky Congresswoman...Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving' For Republicans
  • 7 years ago
President Trump went after Democratic Representative Frederica Wilson again on Sunday.

President Trump is continuing to attack Democratic Representative Frederica Wilson over her criticism of his call with a Gold Star widow.
"Wacky Congresswoman Wilson is the gift that keeps on giving for the Republican Party, a disaster for Dems," Trump tweeted Sunday morning. "You watch her in action & vote R!"
This is not his first tweet aimed at Wilson.
"I hope the Fake News Media keeps talking about Wacky Congresswoman Wilson in that she, as a representative, is killing the Democrat Party!" the president tweeted Sunday.
And in a Wednesday tweet, Trump said that Wilson "totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof). Sad!"
The Florida lawmaker had told the media that when the president called the widow of fallen soldier Army Sergeant La David Johnson, he said to her that her husband “knew what he signed up for.”
When asked about Trump's tweet suggesting she "fabricated" her account of the call, Wilson fired back at him during her interview with CNN's Alisyn Camerota. 
"This man is a sick man," she said. "He is cold-hearted, and he feels no pity or sympathy for anyone."
Other White House officials have not denied that Trump made that comment but press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters, in part, “the president was completely respectful, very sympathetic, and expressed the condolences of himself and the rest of the country.”
