Nineteen days after her husband’s death and two days after his wrenching burial, the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson said she has “nothing to say” to President Trump, whose condolence call pulled the grieving widow into the center of a national controversy.

“Very upset and hurt; it made me cry even worse,” Myeshia Johnson said Monday on “Good Morning America,” making her first public comments since she received the call from Trump last week on the same day her husband’s remains were flown back to the United States.

The president, Johnson said, told her that her husband “knew what he signed up for, but it hurts anyways. And it made me cry. I was very angry at the tone of his voice, and how he said it.”

She added: “I didn’t say anything. I just listened.”

Keep milking this for all it is worth. Eventually you will find an angle that works.

Fredrica is a rock star that called General Kelly a racist. Do you really want to drag this on past last week?

Oh look Mueller is investigating Podestaaaaaa we've got your e-mails. And the real muh Russians is the democrats...

So what other trifling BS will you drag out after Fredrica the attention whore?

Trump. brought this into the spotlight? I don't recall him advertising he made the call. It was the face of the left, Rep Wilson who started that ball rolling. Why is the widow mad at Trump for what Rep Wilson did?

He announced he was making the calls the day before, and I believe Sarah H-S announced it the same day along with the letters.

He also claimed he called "virtually every" family of a fallen soldier.

What should make her cry is that Her Son's sacrifice is scullied by that Cowboy hat, "rock star" fool that is using Her as a political tool. And for what...like Kelly will apologize and Trump will be impeached.

Two "empty barrels".

This entire episode started when a reporter asked him if he had called the fallen soldiers families yet.

I don't really fault you for being ignorant on subpoenas, the law, and how court appointed attorneys work...but you are intentionally disingenuous if you say Trump started this whole thing. Nobody would have known this wife existed had the new face of the democrats, Rep Wilson, made it an issue.

But in her interview Monday with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, she said she’s not totally convinced her husband’s remains were inside.

Why couldn’t I see my husband? Every time I asked to see my husband, they wouldn’t let me,” she said. “They won’t show me a finger, a hand. I know my husband’s body from head to toe. They won’t show me anything.

Very sad narrative. So the new prog contention is that the President of the United States took time to call this woman to antagonize her? That was his motivation?

Just sad!
