Fallen soldierās mother: āTrump did disrespect my sonā
The mother of a soldier killed in an ambush in Africa said Wednesday that President Trump "did disrespect my son" with remarks in a condolence telephone call a day earlier.
Sgt. La David T. Johnson's mother, Cowanda Jones-Johnson, told The Post on Wednesday that she was present during the call from the White House on Tuesday to Johnson's widow, Myeshia Johnson. She stood by an account of the call from Rep. Frederica S. Wilson (D-Fla.) that Trump told Johnson's widow that her husband āmust have known what he signed up for.ā
"President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband," Jones-Johnson said in an exchange with the Post.
Trump denied Wilson's account in a Twitter message Wednesday. He said he had "proof" that the exchange did not go as Wilson had said. He did not elaborate, but the claim again raised questions about whether the president tapes calls and conversations.
His widow cried that Trump didn't even remember his name. I guess he prefers the soldiers who aren't killed.
Except there is no āproofā offered by the mother or the Demoncrat politician.
The proof is in the corroboration. Why would anyone make this up?
Grief makes people lash out and say things they later regret, but there will be no Congresswoman or press there when they come to the realization that they were wrong.
