Representative wilsons ied as a member of congress. thats not her identity to this family. theyve literally known her for decades. johnson and two of his brothers went through her mentorship program. she was principal of their fathers school. theyve known her long before she went to capitol hill. i think kelly and trump have just met her on capitol hill and shes been a constant critic of them and their administration. thats the lens through which they see her. but they dont get to define family ...

The world as we speak and in case of niger its in a very bad neighborhood with al qaeda and boko haram and isis pouring out of libya since that country has fallen apart. tactically, again, we are working through local forces. we are not in combat per se but we are in a very dangerous neighborhood. i think the investigation is going to uncover things like why did it take an hour to initially call for any type of support? as general dunford said, perhaps it was just a very small initial contact an...

Reprehensible. he said last week being at a speech where representative wilson took credit for something she didnt do, grandstanding essentially what the general accused her of. video of the speech contradicts general kellys account really and in spirit and in their statement the congressional black caucus women continued, congresswomans credibility should not be undermined by such blatant lies. one of the members of the caucus, barbara lee of california, thanks so much for being with us. what e...

Who absolutely wanted to be questioned and doubted and scrutinized and was open to critique. so it was ignorant on one hand and i think just on the other hand not a healthy thing for the press secretary to be saying. she ended up as you know having to walk it back just a little bit later, i think, in lieu of cnn coverage that very afternoon she walked it back and said that, well, of course anybody can be questioned but nobody should question his service to the country or what he had to say about...

Have been doing for months. >> you didnt answer my question about the attacks on congress woman wilson and whether you think that is appropriate for the white house to be doing that. >> president trump has his own unique and sometimes confrontational communication style. it looks like ms. wilson is fully able to speak up, as well. i just worry that it is all disstractive. >> so on that note, it just seems so unimportant when you look at all that is going on, when you look at not just niger and t...

Senator corker, i think theres a personal thing going on between you and senator mccain. do you worry that this bickering and feuding gets in the way of your agenda? >> no. and sometimes it helps to be honest with you. so well see what happens in the end. but i think actually sometimes it helps. sometimes it gets people to do what theyre supposed to be doing. >> a bit of a side note now, pamela. congresswoman wilson actually is now demanding an apology from chief of staff john kelly after he com...

Who president trump is, right? weve never known donald trump to back down from a fight whether with democrats, republicans, or even other gold star families. you recall the feud that he had with the khan family after their appearance at the democratic national convention last year where they went after president trump. that did not leave the news cycle for quite some time. and really with the comments from representative wilson today comparing the situation in niger to donald trumps benghazi, it...

That general kelly mischaracterized her involvement. shes also talked about how she personally knew the family that was involved. of course the gold star family. she was there when the president called and she feels she has every right to speak up and help characterize how the family is feeling there. julie: i understand that there are people out there who dont like our president so they are going to try and twist his words. thats something that, you know, unfortunately happens every time he put...

Pentagon for information about surviving family members of all service members killed after trumps inauguration so that the president could be sure to contact all of them. the e-mail was apparently sent after president trump said in a fox news radio interview he had contacted the families of, quote, virtually everybody in the military who died in service to the country since he took office. the associated press found that to be inaccurate. joining me now is chris, welcome back to the broadcast. ...

Sergeant johnson, including his childhood sweetheart, his wife, laid their green beret to rest in a ceremony in cooper city, florida. the 25-year-old was one of four special forces killed in niger, under circumstances still murky and under investigation. he was remembered by friends and family of a young man who loved riding bikes, and who always put his family first. among the speakers at his funeral was congresswoman wilson. trump was tweeting insults at the congresswoman and the democratic pa...
