Joy was right - Congresswoman Wilson was everything we would want our representatives to be in her speech.

Roamer65 is right too - Kelly is a lying sack of shit. This went on far too long, complete with insulting name calling, to be just some brain fart.

I've known a few women principals too. As soon as she said that, we knew the gist what was coming next, but it was so much more. How wonderful that she spoke so inclusively and generously about all the people who, well, really just did this little job as they should, but worked together and did it well.

She's a Democrat and he's one of today's Republicans.

Fri Oct 20, 2017, 08:14 PM
Oct 2017

so he either completely or selectively misremembered what he heard, or else he just flat-out lied - which is really dumb in the age of videotape.

As part of a larger attempt to paint Wilson as a political showboat, Kelly alleged that Wilson had taken credit for securing the federal funding for the construction of a new FBI building in Miramar, Florida. Kelly was present at the 2015 ceremony dedicating the building in his capacity as head of the U.S. military’s Southern Command.

If an underling came to him with a similar self-serving report that had no points of contact with reality? Would he say, "That's okay, soldier, nobody gets everything right 100% of the time" or "It would be inappropriate to question a member of the military"?

So in his anger and frustration at being forced to listen to Rep Wilson speak, he blacked out and went into an alternate reality. I wouldn't be surprised if he's also lying about the Pres. Obama call (or lack thereof). He's clearly delusional and not fit for dog catcher, much less the chief of staff to a "president."
