Breitbart -- CNN and the rest of the mainstream media would have us believe that President Donald Trump called the widow of the late Sgt. La David Johnson to abuse her by telling her that her husband bore responsibility for his own death — that “he knew what he signed up for,” in the words of Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), who was somehow present in a limousine when the call was taken on a speakerphone.
It is an entirely bizarre premise that could only be believed by those blinded by their hatred for Trump — including Wilson, who has been pushing for Trump’s impeachment.
Jake Tapper is among the conspiratorially-minded. That became clear during Wednesday’s edition of CNN’s The Lead, in which he led the show with a recap of Trump’s supposed history of “attacking Gold Star families,” as the chyron read, beginning with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and continuing through the infamous Khizr Khan.
What Tapper conveniently failed to remember is that in each of these cases, the families attacked Trump first in a nakedly political fashion. McCain began the feud when called Trump supporters “crazies” in July 2015. Khan waved a Constitution at Trump from the rostrum at the Democratic National Convention. And now Johnson is being used by Democrats to attack Trump — turning what was, at worst, a misunderstanding into a political axe.
If Trump said anything like what he is being accused of having said — and he and his staff deny it — then it is far more likely that he was expressing admiration for the soldier rather than admonishing his family. Sgt. La David Johnson knew the risks of what he was undertaking, and he faced them bravely in a way that few others would. That is the most reasonable interpretation of what the commander-in-chief may have said, or tried to say.
Yet Trump’s opponents are exploiting Johnson’s death, and the death of his three comrades, to dent Trump — even as he scores one of his biggest military successes thus far, with the fall of the so-called Islamic State in its Raqqa stronghold. CNN repeatedly ran a clip of a widow and bereaved child greeting the flag-draped coffin of Sgt. Johnson as if to suggest that Trump was responsible for the pain they were feeling, and perhaps the death itself.

Blog Author's Comments: A democrat has no business being photographed with an American flag, especially this one. They are all very treacherous and treasonous creatures. This is a sideshow to get everyone's mind off Hillary's Uranium One Russian bribery case. The media wanted to change the topic. Nothing is sacred to democrats, everything is about political gain. And Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) has always been a total joke, and what's with the combo cowboy hat/wig she always has on?
Rep. Wilson actually took a knee in the House chamber to show her approval or agreement for what the black NFL players are doing. If they and she really cared about our soldiers and police officers they wouldn't kneel during the national anthem. Who believes liberals anymore? They are continuing to lose all credibility with the intelligent voters, and the same is true with the mainstream media. Yet every day they seem eager to look even more foolish and ridiculous, much like this story and this Democrat. What amazes me is how this woman was ever elected as a member of Congress?
