Frederica Wilson thanks Al Sharpton for helping community 'heal' after giving speech in which he sniped at Trump
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., thanked civil rights hustler Al Sharpton...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor... for helping her community "heal" after he spoke at prayer service Friday with the family of Sgt. La David Johnson, one of four U.S. soldiers killed during an ambush in Niger last month. Sharpton, who is the president of National Action Network, delivered the keynote address and touched on the infamous phone call between Johnson's widow, Myeshia Johnson, and President Trump, which Wilson listened in on and described Trump as being insensitive ‐ a claim backed up by Myeshia Johnson but disputed by the White House. "To act like she did something wrong, to stand up for a soldier killed in the line of duty ... I can't understand how we can even rationalize that," Sharpton told the congregation gathered at a church in Miami. He also spoke about the threats Wilson has received ever since her public feud with Trump began. "Did you think that you could come after Frederica Wilson and we wouldn't stand there and say, 'we will give in,'" he said to cheers. Posted by: Fred 2017-11-13 |
