Johnson's mom to WaPo: "President Trump did disrespect my son & my daughter & also me & my husband"

Johnson's mother to WaPo: "President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband."


The grieving mother of a U.S. soldier killed in an ambush two weeks ago has confirmed that “President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband.”

Cowanda Jones-Johnson, the mother of Sgt. David Johnson, confirmed Rep Frederica Wilson’s account that President Donald Trump told the soldier’s widow that “he knew what he signed up for” during a phone call.

Jones-Johnson says she was in the car when Trump called her daughter-in-law, Myeshia Johnson, to offer his condolences, and overheard the conversation on speakerphone, The Washington Post reported.

“President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband,” Jones-Johnson told the newspaper on Wednesday.

The soldier’s mother declined to elaborate, but confirmed that Wilson’s account of the conversation was accurate.

“Mr. Trump is crazy,” Wilson told the Washington Post. “He’s a liar. He’s proven to be a liar.”

Wilson flatly stated that her account was correct, and she challenged reporters to disprove her.

“How about you go get that proof and call me back?”
she said.

Johnson’s mother also told the newspaper that she felt disrespected by the president’s remarks.
