Gen. Kelly should have stayed home today.

[madaboutharry]

Maybe he isn't the person everyone wants to think he is. Gen. Kelly should not be getting involved in this.

[JCMach1]

1. Showing he is also a callous asshat

Seriously.

Apparently, he doesn't understand the concept of a speaker phone.

[jrthin]

2. This man from day one has

Been a corrupt tool. Yet every time he has shown us who he is, the MSM keeps saying no, that's not who he is. Believe him through his behavior, he is a corrupt, disgusting tool.

[LiberalFighter]

3. I agree. He just made it worse.

Talking about it being sacred as if the grieving widow was at fault for allowing the Congresswoman to listen to the call. And also accusing the Congresswoman of snooping on the call.

[RussBLib]

22. Is nothing sacred any more?

Kelly asked, like a cranky 70-year-old FOX News watcher.

"We used to hold women sacred" he said and both my wife and I laughed out loud in derision. What BS.

And "religion used to be sacred, but I guess not anymore." Hey, I'm all behind that one.

[FM123]

4. Bingo. We are trying to make him into the grown up so we feel more secure.

[spiderpig]

5. Obviously sent out for damage control.

It is not working.

At all.

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. I have this urge to slap someone

Lies his ASS off then refuses to take questions from reporters unless he approves of who the reporter is

my blood is boiling, i might have a heart attack

[spiderpig]

10. You'll have to stand in line.

Now Kelly's going nuclear on the Congresswoman.

Kelly is now officially on my no-fly list, and I'm married to a Marine.

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. He has just declared war on the American people, Kelly has. boy are we fucked now or what

[Old Vet]

8. Cant believe hes DIS-RESPECTING himself like this to cover for 45. Sad.....

[Skittles]

18. it is very disturbing

this is a guy covering for a sick man who politicized the death of Kelly's son

[RockaFowler]

9. He doesn't even know this family

They have been friends with the Congresswoman for years. She had every right to listen in on that call. She was in the car for God's sake.

This man is as much an ass as his classless boss

[padah513]

11. He's covering Trump's butt

Trump wouldn't stop digging that hole he put himself in, so Kelly had to come in and cover his butt. Two of these in two weeks.

[elfin]

12. Another Trump sycophant

Could hear the suck up noises trough the tv. Ugh. Whatta shame. Did think he was conservative, but sane (as much as that is possible.)

[HAB911]

13. He isn't going to save us

he's one of them

[Eliot Rosewater]

17. Always was, how have we accepted GENERALS as chief of staff? Sct defense? are we nuts?

[HAB911]

20. Grasping for straws

misplaced hope in the face of extinction

[obliviously]

31. What specificly

did you have plans for him to save you from?

[HAB911]

33. See post #4

everyone has been hoping he was one of three "adults" in this administration, three surrogate Generals

[True Dough]

14. He's shown that he's willing to put his life on the line on a field of battle

By comparison, this has to be easier for him to do, but it's most unfortunate. The things he said about "mostly kids" serving in the military all over the world at any given time, well, that could be applied to diplomats in dangerous jurisdictions like Benghazi, Libya too, couldn't it?

[Eliot Rosewater]

19. He is fucking LYING about trump asking how to talk to them and then telling

him to tell them they signed up for it

I will NEVER believe any of that happened

[Wellstone ruled]

15. Kelly did not help himself one bit today.

First he tried to take blame for Trump's Black Heart phone call. Second,he knows that more than a third of the front line military persons are Minority Persons's. Thirdly,recruitment is in the crapper big time. Fourthly,now the lid on the Niger Can was blown off this morning as to one reason our Special Forces were in Country,and that being the Uranium Assets were bought by Gasprom/Putin. Watch the White House stear clear of this until John McCain blows it up.

So now the new target is a Black Congresswoman from Florida,General,you created a FUBAR of the first class.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

16. He even got a slap in on the Khan family.

I assume that was who he was talking about when he mentioned the conventions.

[dalton99a]

21. Donald Trump before country or personal honor - as usual

But the general will pivot.

Any day now.

[JCMach1]

23. Didn't he just prove Trump lied about this?

[RussBLib]

24. That whole "let's read a letter from a Trump voter" before each press briefing...

is top-shelf sycophancy. It feels so unreal.

We must praise the Dear Leader before we allow you press dogs to gnash your ugly teeth.

Ugh.

[Elwood P Dowd]

25. This was done strictly for Fox News & hate radio talking points. Gotta' keep his base of 30%,

many of which are vets, from jumping out of the Trump Clown Car.

[gibraltar72]

26. Kelly has always been

a horrible person. His only goal was to keep Trump more disciplined and organized so he could do more horrible things. He wasn't there to make Trump better just more effective at harming our nation.

[Irish_Dem]

27. He is no better than Trump. nt

[Roland99]

28. Um. ??? Anyone care to explain?

[madaboutharry]

30. This is about today's press briefing.

Kelly came out and gave Trump total cover on the phone call to Mrs. Johnson. Including an attack on Congresswoman Wilson.

[Roland99]

32. Ooof

[SleeplessinSoCal]

29. Being a "good soldier" for C-i-C.

He will help calm the waters for the cabinet's tax breaks and that's about it.

[leftynyc]

34. Just as any New Yorker can tell you

Anything that enters the trump orbit winds up covered in shit.
