Three NewsBusters posts on Thursday documented attacks by far-leftists and members of the media on Trump administration Chief of Staff and retired General John Kelly’s reaction that afternoon to Florida Democratic Congresswoman Frederica Wilson’s accusation that President Donald Trump, during a private phone call to the widow of fallen soldier La David Johnson, “disrespected” him.
Not to be outdone, Masha Gessen at The New Yorker accused Kelly of using “the language of the military coup” — which Gessen seems to believe may have already been effectively accomplished, given her contention that Kelly has his job because “he was sent in to control the President.”
In those NewsBusters posts, we’ve seen Kelly and his Thursday press briefing statement described by leftists and media hacks as that of a “nitwit,” “odious” “coward,” making “bizarre,” “dishonest,” racist remarks; as a racist who “Dehumanized” a “Black Woman”; and as someone who engaged in a “political stunt.”
Those who couldn’t imagine the attacks on Kelly becoming even more stuck on stupid vastly underestimated Masha Gessen.
