He knew what he was fucking doing.
He blatantly lied, and had a respectable Congresswoman that's been serving her constituents for over a decade, dragged through the mud, all because she was a strong black woman who wouldn't give an inch when it came to truth, respect, and humility.
The speech that Congresswoman Wilson was a moving tribute to ALL THOSE that serve and have served this great country. In no way did she use that moment to grandstand or to increase her political capital; it was in reverence to both parties working together for a cause that was beyond them, a cause that was ACTUALLY sacred, the remembrance of actual heroes like Ben Grogen and Jerry Dove.
Thank God, he's been outed as the POS he really is.
For context, not only did he say such libel about Congresswoman Wilson, but he fucking used his dead son to push this provably false narrative. HE USED HIS DEAD SON SO HE CAN SCORE POINTS FOR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
Sorry for his loss, but fuck him. His son deserves a father better than John Kelly.
