John Kelly Continues to Suck
Gen. John Kelly, President Trump’s current chief of staff and onetime media hopeful to steer the sinking ship that is the White House, continues to suck. On Monday, he reminded the world just how much he sucks when he declined an opportunity to apologize to Rep. Frederica Wilson, whom he lied about in an attempt to discredit her.
Defending Trump’s astoundingly insensitive phone call to the widow of a fallen Green Beret, Kelly accused Wilson of politicizing his death during a press conference less than two weeks ago. Wilson backed up the widow’s account of her conversation with Trump. “He knew what he signed up for,” Trump reportedly told Myeshia Johnson, the widow of Sgt. LaDavid Johnson.
During the press conference, Kelly falsely claimed Wilson had taken credit for securing the funding of an FBI building in her Florida district, but archival footage of the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the building proved otherwise. The White House predictably stood by Kelly’s accusations.
