Was it just my phone or does it start to loop when he was joking about some of the kids being “not quite as good?”

You can listen to it another 100 Times. Offensive is not anywhere in there. It was a very personal touching call to a widow and her family.

So if this is the call in its entirety where is the line that all the prog fifth and the disgusting prog congress woman was crying about?

Was it all a lie?
Are we going to have 4 pages of people not figuring out that this was a different call?

This entire "story" is based on a second hand snippet of the conversation, all provided by the cowboy-hat wearing "rockstar".


It's ridiculous and sad that it's lasted this long. It will be forgotten by Monday when we move onto the next "scandal"

Every time I see her on TV, I just want to punch her in the face. I don’t normally get that feeling. She just irks me!

Kelly confirmed yesterday that Trump did say the line in question, so it's not just the Congresswoman.

Every time I see this picture, I think of the Awan servers and have hope for the worst.

I agree. She egged it on and created it where it didn’t exist . That the Prog media and their Twitter army ran with it shames them for eternity . More than being upset by CNN I’m a bit Shook that people I know or people on this board agreed with the idea that General Kelly is odious or that Trump somehow had bad intentions . I don’t want to live among people like that. I can’t even...

trying to say it in an admirable way. It didn't come across that way to those on the other end of the call, and instead of apologizing and clarifying what he meant to say, he called the Congresswoman a liar. I don't think it was really the Congresswoman's place to publicly comment on the call either.

You won't find me defending Trump for not allowing this thing to die out as quickly as possible - even to the extent of allowing the MSM to score a 'win' for their side.

It is unseemly for the POTUS to continue to stir the pot - even if he is winning the trivial dispute. The sanctity of the overall situation is far more important than a meaningless skirmish.

But that being said - it is truly the malicious intent of the MSM in cahoots with the prog/DEMs that continues to bite and Trump's heels at every turn 24/7 that is the root cause of all this crap.

Perhaps Trump would even be a better person if he were not constantly attacked by malicious intent from every angle in the media.

That is the man that I voted for to lead our nation. Could you ask more from your commander in chief?

Wilson is the same piece of maggot shite that egged on the Trayvon Martin situation before a single fact was known.

That is the sad situation I find myself in.

I have lost all semblance of sympathy or empathy for them as human beings. They are now all less than human to me.

Sounded like a pretty empathetic man making that call, didn't it? Something you said he wasn't capable of. If this is any indication of what all of his calls were like, Congresswoman Wilson is a moron of the highest degree and if you support her in any capacity, you are just as vile.

I think the media would not have run with it like they did had Trump just done a mea culpa and clarified what he said and what he was trying to convey. His Tweet just furthered the narrative that he is incapable of showing any humility in the face of criticism, and that just adds fuel to the fire.

Obviously at home and well prepared is the best way to receive the call. Not sure what idiot decided that doing it in a car on the way to receive the casket was a good time to take the call.


Now that is a wrinkle on the situation I was unaware of - certainly that was a big mistake - wrong time - wrong place - wrong audience.

A well reasoned response. But I have to admit, the hucksters that make up the Left have me to the point of absolutely despising them. There are plenty of good reasons to disagree with President Trump. But this vile misrepresentation of the truth has got to stop.

The line itself is irrelevant. It's how the rep tried to contort it into something negative and callous

I'm not sure of this.

But I agree with you here.

At least in the former situation he'd have had more status on a higher plane.
