A White House official later said that Obama did not call Kelly but did not immediately respond to questions about whether the former president reached out in some other fashion.

In fact, White House visitor records show Kelly attended a breakfast Obama hosted for Gold Star families six months after his son died. A person familiar with the breakfast — speaking on condition of anonymity because the event was private — said the Kelly family sat at Michelle Obama’s table.

Obama aides said it was difficult this many years later to determine if he had also called Kelly, and when.But former Obama spokesman Ned Price, reacted angrily to Trump’s comments. “Kelly, a man of honor & decency, should stop this inane cruelty,” Price tweeted. “He saw up-close just how — & how much — Obama cared for the fallen’s families.”


Just another example of Fake news from Trump..

Trump never said Obama didn't host a breakfast for gold star families.

I bet Kelly, who is very private about the death of his son, just loves Trump using it like this.

Trump lets him come to the WH every day. That's nothing special.

So Trump is right. SIX MONTHS GO BY and a FOUR STAR GENERAL is not called by the president to offer condolences.

Nope.

"Let's just round 'em all up and say how sorry we are once, so we can wash the bitter taste out of our mouths only once and be done with it."

So wait, Kelley being at a group breakfast six months after his son's death proves that Trump was lying when he said Obama didn't call Kelly after his son's death?

You people have let your TDS completely unravel your minds. For real.

We both know that if Trump had a group breakfast six months after a parent's child was killed in combat and then later claimed that he had called said parent after the child's death that you would be lambasting him as a liar. I mean at least be honest about that.

I agree with this.

He's probably thinking "Hey... leave me and my family out of this, Don".

Until Kelly comes out and says he and his family received no outreach from the WH, I will not believe otherwise.

It sucks that Kelly has to re-live the death of his son because Trump wants to save face for a stupid statement he made, but it's who he is.
