On Monday night, Laura Ingraham sat down with White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and brought up the feud he had with Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL).

Kelly doubled down on own remarks about the congresswoman during a 2015 appearance at an FBI ceremony where he claimed she was bragging about how she got funding for the building (which was disproven) by saying that a “number of people” (he noted were current and former FBI agents) who were there had “volunteered to come forward” to back up his remarks about Wilson because they saw her before and after her speech.

Ingraham then pressed him on Kelly’s accusations against Wilson, while conceding the congresswoman “used the word ‘I’ a lot,” but still didn’t “brag” about the funding. The former general called her speech and her comments at the reception following the ceremony a “package deal” and he “didn’t want to get into it.”

“But do you feel like you have something to apologize for?” Ingraham asked.

“Do I? No,” Kelly responded. “Never. I will apologize if I need to, but for something like this? Absolutely not. I stand by my comments.

1. He's an all out white supremacist.

He defended the Civil War, the Confederacy, slavery, and Robert E Lee. This is so bad. I read the Guardian before I went to bed.. big mistake.

[dalton99a]

5. Kelly is a racist, fascist pig - and a traitor

just like his boss

[stopbush]

6. So basically, hes gone from saying she said offensive things in her speech

to saying the offensive things were said off-microphone...and conveniently not able to be taped, so it becomes his word against hers.

So sad to learn that one of “our generals” is a FUCKING COWARD.

[SunSeeker]

9. It's worse. He's a FUCKING LYING COWARD. He has absolutely NO credibility now.

[Nitram]

7. So the man admits he has no honor.

He has lost all the credibility and respect he ever had. He'll be a short footnote to the whole Trump Administration debacle.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. He may end up being Drumpf's "H.R. Haldeman" in history. nt

[Nitram]

11. I hope so.

you know that letter sucking up to trumps ego, signed by a long list of 15? retired military- Republicans knew would be perfect for a radical RWing administration?
