Dem Who Criticized Trump for Being "Insensitive" Has Anti-Vet Voting Record
2017-10-24
[Conservative Tribune] The Florida Democrat who slammed President Donald Trump this week for allegedly being "insensitive" during a phone conversation with a slain U.S. soldier’s widow has her own sordid history of insensitivity, especially in regard to veterans.

According to an analysis of Rep. Frederica Wilson’s congressional voting record, conducted by Fox News, she’s voted against bills that would have provided "continued funding for veteran benefits, including payments to widows of fallen soldiers," multiple times over the last several years.

"She has also opposed measures designed to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs," reported Fox. "In March 2013, Wilson opposed the ’Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act,’ which prevented a government shutdown and provided funds for the U.S. military and the VA."

#3  I don't think the President can release the tapes of such a private phone call without the permission of the other participant.

I think this was planned to create a Trump Bengazhi. They are going to keep hitting on it until it longer brings in donations.

I also think that none of the pro-military folks buy it for as second but the anti-Trump folks just know it must be true and that if he didn't say those foul things he really must have thought them.

#2  She wears one every day to honor her late grandmother.

Grandma is probably spinning in her grave about now.

#1  The Widow Johnson has a fundraiser page that seems to be doing quite well. Pretty sure Rep. Wilson's hysterics have assisted in the effort.

Per Wiki: Wilson is an avid wearer of hats. She has a large collection that includes hundreds of hats of all different varieties. She wears one every day to honor her late grandmother. (?!)
