But then john kelly from the same polandium went into an extended and apparently prepared just pitiless critique of a democratic congresswoman wilson from south florida. she had been physically with the family of sergeant ladavid johnson, she was with his widow when she took the call. in that conversation president trump used language, intentionally or not, that the family found disrespectful and hurtful. john kelly yesterday criticized congresswoman wilson for having been on that call. now, tha...

Haunting the white house. what began with president trump misrepresenting other presidents interactions with gold star families and escalated in a fight over what trump said in a, quote, condolence call to the widow of sergeant la david johnson killed with three other staff sergeants is now turned into something much, much more problematic. donald trump allegedly told johnson he knew what he was signing up for but i guess it hurts anyway. that according to congresswoman frederica wilson and the ...

For them. so ive been raising this issue on house armed services for a while and very concerned about it. >> and congresswoman wilson has raised the concerns of the family on behalf of the family and as they are her constituents about the question of sergeant la david johnson and whether or not he was left behind. we know his body was found about a mile from the site where the others were. and there were a lot of questions about why he was found on his own. this is pentagon joint staff director ...

She was listening to the phone call as a family friend, if not even a family member. i think what it got to, what i tried to get to it, is the idea that for many americans, family is a far broader concept that maybe the nuclear traditional family ideas that we see perhaps championed by general kelly. i think in his attempt, in his effort to discredit her, he ended up telling this story that wasnt even true, and more importantly, had absolutely nothing to do with why these four young men were in ...

This attack has gotten a lot of attention this week. sergeant la david johnson, his funeral was today. we saw the video from the heartbreaking return and his widow weeping over his casket this week and his funeral was today. its been brought into so much politics this week. one of the reasons we just dont know a lot of details about exactly what happened is its still under investigation. then the other reason is just the nature of this mission. its special forces. they are doing a train, advise ...

Was a lot of grandstanding, stunned she had taken the opportunity to make it about herself. >> can he talk about this? >> i think hes addressed that pretty thoroughly yesterday. >> he was wrong yesterday. im talking about the money. >> if you want to go after general kelly, thats up to you but i think if you want to get into a debate with a four star marine general, i think thats something highly inappropriate. >> so we asked congresswoman wilson to join us tonight but she had a previous engagem...

Questions about the management of this process. even senator mccain, the chairman of the armed services committee said we are not getting answers. what happened several years ago, compared to benghazi, where they were significant reviews, going over all the data as they should have -- although it was politicized and should not have been. if i were a troop in the field and the a commander, i would be wondering if management and oversight is being looked into in a way that would share the safety o...

>> yeah. just, i mean, theres so much wrong with that and i want to be clear along with my panelists here of a distinction to be made of general kelly and chief of staff kelly. chief of staff kelly making a political intervention this week that unfortunately besmer much ofs his record as a general. at the end of the day thinking of the sensitivity around the issues we have to include interpretation and the sense of tone, right? lets just say its a tone thing. maybe the words sounded a certain wa...
