I realize the family is grieving and want to cut them some slack for that. However, this whole brouhaha gives every indication that Frederica, Cowanda, and/or Myeshia cooked this media storm up for partisan reasons.

I won’t give them any slack since their pay pal account brought in $300,000 the first day! Cah-ching it rings when ever you cry ‘victim”

Is there a chance this miserable congress-critter is stirring up the poor grieving widow to score points with her constituents and lead "the resistance"? Nah, couldn't be.

Good thing Trump fights back against these lies. A President Jeb would have resigned by now.

The President probably has a tape of his conversation. I hope he releases it so as to clarify things for these hate filled LIB/DIMs.

This story is BS, I’ll move on even if the hate filled 24/7 anti-Trump media won’t

It’s not disrespectful, it’s consoling and encouraging. It means this soldier’s death, sacrificing self for country, was part of his ultimate mission.

“...which Wilson said she heard via a speaker phone while riding in a car with the Johnson family.”

Hmm, a Rep riding around in their car? Doing speakerphone with POTUS? Hmm...


I’m betting it is a flat lie. I doubt the rep was even in the car. I doubt she heard the conversation.

This doesn’t sound like compelling evidence:

“Wilson told WPLG, “Now, I didn’t hear the entire conversation, but when I tried to find out what the entire conversation was, she said, ‘I just can’t remember everything that he said.’ But that stood out in everyone’s, uh, heart on the call. You don’t say that. He is the president of the United States....”

This reminds me of an exchange I had with a liberal not long after 9/11. I told him that my nephew wanted to enlist in the military, impelled by the attacks on that day. He was shocked and said, “This is probably not the best time to enlist.” I looked him dead in the eye and replied, “This is precisely the time for good people to enlist and fight our enemies.”

There is nothing especially Ebonic about the name Frederica.

And the president shouldn’t be calling the family of every lost Soldier anyway. Think FDR had time for that?
And flags shouldn’t go half staff Everton a soldier dies.

That wasn’t started with respect. It was meant as a way to attack Bush during the iraq war. Seems like the flag is half staff 50% of the year anymore.

Nobody said he had his long tab. He was support and assigned to 3rd grp, and did his mission just like every other guy there. God Bless Mr. Johnson.

A few days ago, a reporter asked Trump when he was going to call the families of the four dead soldiers. I thought it was an odd question...usually these calls are private affairs...GWB even met secretly with families at times.

So why was the reporter so interested in when Trump would call?

No it seems clear that the second news of this soldier's death came in, it was politicized. Awful.

And I will always do my duty
No matter what the price
I've counted up the cost
I know the sacrifice
Oh, and I don't want to die for you
But if dyin's asked of me
I'll bear that cross with honor
'Cause freedom don't come free

I'm an American soldier, an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters
I will proudly take a stand
When liberty's in jeopardy
I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front lines
sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American soldier

He was a member of 3rd special forces group. He was support personnel, it’s a airborne unit[red beret signifies a airborne unit], he was there in support of the mission on the ground.
