The Florida Democrat who criticized President Donald Trump this week for being "insensitive" toward the widow of a U.S. soldier slain in Africa might be facing similar criticism herself. It turns out that U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson has frequently voted against measures intended to help veterans and their families, according to VoteSmart.org, a vote-tracking site whose founding board members included former presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford.

The measures that Wilson opposed included a bill that could have ensured that families of four soldiers slain in Afghanistan in 2013 received death and burial benefits.

That would be Maxine Waters of California. Frederica Wilson is one of 2 Florida representatives with a penchant for wearing dopey looking cowboy style hats.

It’s hysterical how corrupt (and stupid) and stupid a lot of these urban congresswomen are.

Anyone in the Congressional Black Caucus is subhuman scum - they have no attachment to reality and can revel in their ignorance because it is protected by their electoral lock due to gerrymandering in their districts.
This would be the level of intellect ruling America if it were a super majority black nation. - like the thread about Zimbabwe explored earlier.

Damn. Can't believe I didn't hear about this.
quote:
WASHINGTON — The families of four soldiers killed in Afghanistan last weekend will not receive death benefits or the money to pay for their funerals because of the government shutdown.
The bodies of Sgt. Patrick C. Hawkins, 25; Pfc. Cody J. Patterson, 24; Sgt. Joseph M. Peters, 24; and First Lt. Jennifer M. Moreno, 25, will arrive at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Wednesday. The four soldiers were killed Sunday in the Zhari district of Kandahar Province when enemy forces attacked their unit with explosives.
But if their families want to meet the plane, they will have to pay their own way to Delaware.

A charity ended up stepping in and covering it but it's shameful that it got to that.
