Kelly is asking why the Congresswoman was in the car. Well here's the answer.

[kpete]

You might ask why Rep. Wilson was in car with widow?
She’s close to the family. Johnson, the soldier, went through her mentoring program.

Johnson, who was affectionately known as "Tee" at Miami Carol City Senior High School, was formerly known by thousands on social media as the "Wheelie King 305." He graduated from ATI Career Training Center. And he was also a member of the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project, a mentorship program Wilson founded in 1993.

She said other members of the program were mourning Johnson's death at the hands of ISIS-affiliated militants.

1. Kelly is a traitorous asshole just like his boss

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. 100%

[underpants]

3. Serious lowlife scumbag. I see Kelly is showing his loyalty to Trump

I took the whole thing from the beginning as Trump trying to upstage Kelly AND test his loyalty

[Johonny]

4. Kelly knows why she was in the car. He's just being an *

Can't respect him after that statement.

[asiliveandbreathe]

5. Deflect - deflect - deflect - from the real issue - why are we in Niger??????eom

[Baconator]

7. FID...

ISIS, AQIM and Boko Haram mostly.... Top spot changes by year...

[asiliveandbreathe]

10. Link please...perhaps we could let Mcain in on it!!!!eom

[Baconator]

11. I'm pretty sure he knows...

The question doesn't seem to be about why there were there but more about the threat assessment.

[Lucinda]

6. It's none of his business anyway....

[Lars39]

8. The only answer that matters...the widow &/or family wanted her there.

[kskiska]

9. They're making the Congresswoman their scapegoat

because they don't dare blame anyone in the family for letting someone listen to the call, which is the family's decision after all. I'm sure other recipients of these calls let family members listen in.

14. Asshole Trump would have known the phone was placed on speakerphone.

[TeamPooka]

12. Better question: Why is Kelly still at the White House?

Scumbag military industrialist wants the power
is a white supremacist,
is Putin's pawn too,
could be a lotta reasons

[njhoneybadger]

13. The question should be to General Kelly

Who are you covering for in regards to the death of the four Green Berets in Niger

[Gothmog]

15. There was nothing wrong with this Congresswoman being in the same car

[milestogo]

17. Even if she had no other connection to him than being his elected representative

it was totally appropriate for her to be there to support the family as his body was brought home.

[Solly Mack]

16. It doesn't matter why she was in the car. It's none of Kelly's business.

He isn't the Emily Post of grieving. He doesn't get to decide how someone grieves, where they grieve, or who they grieve with.

His once worn uniform does not mean he gets to set the standard for grieving.
His once worn stars don't either.
Not even the loss of his own son gives him the right to make that determination for others.

No one gets to make that call for the grieving spouse & family.

No one.

[spanone]

18. Kelly should be ashamed, but he's just one more trump sycophant
