Rep. Fredericka Wilson was to be a guest on Erin Burnett's show but has cancelled.

Erin Burnett is blasting Kelly for his vicious personal attacks on Wilson. Kelly called her an "empty barrel" twice and refused to address her by name, calling her "that woman."

The panel is pretty brutal in their assessment of Kelly's attack on Rep. Wilson.

especially when the person who dares to criticize him is a WOMAN of color. The man's comments on "sacred Women" was bizarre, considering who he works for.

Saying you would think conservatives would admire the work she has done with her 5000 Role Models of Excellence Program.

But Erin Burnett is doing a much more effective job going after Trump and Kelly than what I thought possible.

I don’t really care so much what people say about me because it usually is a reflection of who they are.

Kelly's over-the-top personal attack on her was not befitting the dignity of his office.

To this controversy. I think she wants to let the family grieve without more publicity. She is a classy lady, always has been.

but we knew that when he agreed to work for Dump, having been such a good little soldier at DHS. He will not be remembered well, and a man who uses the death of his own son as a tool for political gain for a cretin like Dump, just beneath contempt.
