As the feud between Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) and the Trump White House spins off into countless side arguments, full video of a 2015 speech by Wilson proves Trumpâs chief-of-staff John Kelly recently misrepresented her words. On Thursday, Kelly took the podium at the White House press briefing to chastise Wilson for criticizing Trumpâs phone call with the widow of a U.S. soldier killed in Niger as being âinsensitive.â In addition, Kelly personally attacked the congresswoman, claiming that during a somber dedication of the new Miramar FBI building, Wilsonâs speech focused on âhow she was instrumental in getting the funding for that building.â The Sun-Sentinel reported, however: âWilson said Kellyâs comment was a fabrication, that she wasnât even elected to Congress when the funding for the building was approved. A Sun Sentinel video of the event supports Wilsonâs version of the events.â
