Rep. Frederica Wilson strikes back at John Kelly: ‘Lying,’ ‘racist’
The Washington Times ^ | October 20, 2017 | S.A. Miller

Rep. Frederica Wilson on Friday accused White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly of lying about her and using a “racist term” when he publicly admonished her for politicizing the president’s condolence call to a Special Forces’ widow.

Mr. Kelly, a retired Marine general whose son was killed in action in Afghanistan, on Thursday denounced the Florida Democrat for listening in on President Trump’s call to Army Sgt. La David Johnson’s widow and then accusing the president of being disrespectful.

“He has my sympathy for the loss of his son, but he can’t just go on TV and lie on me,” Mrs. Wilson said on CNN.

She took issue with Mr. Kelly describing her remarks at the 2015 dedication of a FBI field office in Miami, which was named for two agents killed in the line of duty.

Mr. Kelly said she boasted about securing funding for the building in her district and described the congresswoman as “empty barrels making the most noise.”

“I was not even in Congress in 2009 when the money for the building was secured. So that’s a lie. How dare he,” Mrs. Wilson said.

She said that she did participate in the naming of the building at the behest of FBI Director James B. Comey and House Speaker John A. Boehner, describing it as a bipartisan effort.

She also took offense at the phrase “empty barrel.”

“That’s a racist term, too. I’m thinking about that. We looked it up in the dictionary because I had never heard of an empty barrel, and I don’t like to be dragged into something like that,” she said.....

Frederica Wilson, I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. World-class, A-1, top of the heap, triple whopper with cheese, supersized stupid. So stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. One-of-a-kind, global, universal, intergalactic stupid.

You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularly, extraordinarily, incredibly, bewilderingly stupid.

Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your life is a monument to stupidity.

I am breathless that anyone or anything in our universe can really be this stupid. You are a primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of stupidity that we know. A behemoth, a leviathan, a colossus of stupidity. And you’re a liar to boot!

That stamp on the $20 with POTUS DJT living in the WH is very good.

Also, on every router there is usually 4 wifi configurations. You usually only use one of those in your house. But the other 3 can be set up to broadcast SSIDs. So if you want to tease your leftist neighbors set up the other 3 with something similar:

POTUS DJT
COVFEFE
HillaryGetsJail

The IQ in question is about -30 dB ...

Too bad her mouth is not as audible.

Oh, I wonder if the connection went like this?

"Empty barrel" -->
a barrel is part of a gun -->
GUNS ARE BAD! -->
because guns shoot people -->
so an EMPTY barrel is a gun which has just been fired -->
by a gang-banger -->

See, empty barrels float.

And it takes a lot of empty barrels to provide enough buoyancy to keep Guam from tipping over.

So that's raciss.
