The Miami congresswoman was part of a national firestorm a year ago when she criticized President Donald Trump’s handling of a phone call with the widow of La David Johnson, a constituent of Wilson’s who was killed under mysterious circumstances during a military operation in Niger. In response, Kelly took the unusual step of addressing the national media from the White House briefing room to attack Wilson for taking undue credit for an FBI field office that opened in South Florida.

If she didn’t report the death threats at the time and now are claiming it the authorities need to speak with her.

“Rep. Wilson truly did the impossible, and we are eternally grateful,” then-FBI Director James Comey said at the Miramar event.

Hmmmm….

She should “hold her breath” until he apologizes.

It’s too bad she didn’t “connect” with one of those nooses. Criminal.

I m not buying the ‘nooses’ claim.

They ALWAYS claim they are sent nooses.

It ALWAYS turns out to be a hoax.

Why does she keep sending herself these things? And why do her political allies keep sending her these things? Any guesses?

Kelly doesn’t need to apologize for telling the truth.

Tranny PIMP in a cowboy hat, and as FUGLY as FUGLY can be!!

She will never get an apology, nor does she deserve one.

I hope she is still getting threats and that she lives in fear all the time.
