Representative wilson's ied as a member of congress. that's not her identity to this family. they've literally known her for decades. johnson and two of his brothers went through her mentorship program. she was principal of their father's school. they've known her long before she went to capitol hill. i think kelly and trump have just met her on capitol hill and she's been a constant critic of them and their administration. that's the lens through which they see her. but they don't get to define family for this family or the american people as a whole. what they do get to define and explain is...
