Kelly criticized Democratic U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson for claiming she got the money for the new building during the 2015 ceremony while he and others in the audience were focused on the heroism of agents Benjamin Grogan and Jerry Dove, killed during a 1986 shootout with bank robbers south of Miami.
Thursday night, Wilson said Kelly got the story flat-out wrong. In fact, she said Washington approved the money before she was even in Congress. The legislation she sponsored named the building after Grogan and Dove, a law enacted just days before the ceremony.

(22,034 posts)Kelly doesn't need facts since he has Alternative Reality. Trump's team never let's facts get in the way of their much better story that always makes Trump look like a god.
Where am I? I don't recognize this world anymore.

(12,448 posts)He KNOWS he's wrong in protecting the Orange Monster. He KNOWS what Trump is, and still tries desperately to defend him. If it involves lying about a congresswoman, so be it.
Contrary to widespread opinion, Kelly is not the adult defending the country by reining in a madman. He is enabling him.
