Wilson Did Brag but Says Kelly Lied, Used ‘Racist Term’ in His Emotional Briefing

Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson did brag about herself, but struck back at White House Chief of Staff John Kelly for calling her an “empty barrel,” saying his attack is racist. “That’s a racist term, thinking about that, we looked it up in the dictionary because I had never heard of an empty barrel,” Wilson said.

Kelly appeared in the White House briefing room on Thursday to defend Trump, but also to criticize Wilson for listening to the call to Johnson’s family. In addition to describing Wilson as an “empty barrel,” he said she had violated a sacred trust by sharing details of the president’s sympathy call. Kelly said he was “stunned” and “brokenhearted” that Wilson would do that, adding: “I thought at least that was sacred.” In response, Wilson said Kelly was just trying to save his job, and joked that she’d have to tell her kids she’s a “rock star” given how much the White House is paying attention to her. “We looked it up in the dictionary, because I had never heard of an empty barrel.” for more details check out here: for user comments，check out here:
