Democrat Florida Congresswoman Rep. Frederica Wilson wears a cowboy hat, skipped President Trump’s inauguration on purpose in January and missed 117 votes in the House in one year. Recently she claimed she was eavesdropping on the telephone call when President Trump phoned Myeshia Johnson on Tuesday afternoon to give his condolences over the death of her husband Sgt. La David Johnson, according to Rep. Frederica Wilson but which is denied by the President.
During the five minute call, Wilson alleges President Trump told Johnson her 25-year-old husband ‘knew what he signed up for… but when it happens it hurts anyway.’
The remark – delivered with a car full of people listening on speakerphone – drew instant condemnation, but Trump denied it and said Wednesday morning that it was entirely made up.
‘Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof). Sad!’ the president tweeted.
Her bizarre tenure in Congress has led her to weigh in on issues of race 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.
‘President Trump spoke to all four of the families of those who were killed in action in Niger,’ White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement late Tuesday.
‘He offered condolences on behalf of a grateful nation and assured them their family’s extraordinary sacrifice to the country will never be forgotten.’
Staff Sgt. Bryan Black, Staff Sgt. Jeremiah Johnson, Staff Sgt. Dustin Wright and Sgt. La David Johnson were all killed when militants thought to be affiliated with the Islamic State group ambushed them while they were patrolling in unarmored trucks with Niger troops.
