Open Letter to John Kelly

Let me begin by saying how sorry I am about the loss of your son. As a parent, I cannot imagine how devastating the death of a child would be, and my heart goes out to you and your family.

That being said, I am appalled by your remarks today about the issue of Trump’s phone call to the widow of La David Johnson.

You stated that you were “stunned” by the fact that Congresswoman Frederica Wilson “listened-in” on that phone call. You chose to ignore the fact that the Congresswoman was present when the phone call came by virtue of being a friend of both La David Johnson and his wife. You also left out the fact that you yourself were “listening in” on that same call.

What is truly stunning here is the fact that you, a Gold Star father, stood up and defended the man who vehemently trashed Khizr and Ghazala Khan, Gold Star parents, during his campaign. Where was your outrage then?

You stood up and defended the man who has consistently disrespected one of our war heroes, John McCain, who spent years as a POW while your “pResident” was busy avoiding military service. Again, where was your outrage when Trump said he prefers soldiers “who don’t get caught”?

What is also stunning is the fact that Trump denied what he said to Ms. Johnson, and attacked Congresswoman Wilson for “fabricating” the very words that you today confirmed were actually said. Why are you not “stunned” by a president who lies repeatedly about everything?

Why are you not “stunned” by the fact that it took twelve days for your C-in-C to even acknowledge the deaths of La David Johnson and his brothers-in-arms? Why are you not “stunned” that Trump used his response to those deaths as an opportunity to state that previous presidents failed to contact the families of our fallen soldiers?

You know that’s a lie – everyone knows it’s a lie. So why are you defending the liar-in-chief when he blatantly lies about his predecessors’ actions and statements about their communications with military families?

You stated that Congresswoman Wilson is an “empty barrel making noise”. There is nothing “empty” about those Americans who, like Ms. Wilson, are standing up to Trump’s lies, his lack of sensitivity, his blatant ignorance, and his disgraceful behavior that seems to know no depth of depravity.

Trump could have put this whole disgraceful debacle to rest by simply saying he was sorry that his comments to Ms. Johnson were misinterpreted or misunderstood. Instead, he does what he always does – attack anyone who even suggests that he might be wrong.

Your performance today was nothing less than disgraceful. You stood in defence of a “pResident” who continues to say and do things that are beyond indefensible. You made excuses for a man who has disrespected our military on numerous occasions and, in the doing, you further enabled his despicable behaviour.

The nation is well aware that you were placed in your current position to act as baby-sitter to a petulant child with the maturity of a five-year-old, the temperament of a schoolyard bully, and the mental capacity of a self-absorbed buffoon who spends his time watching TV, tweeting nonsense, and playing golf.

Sadly, you have now demonstrated beyond all doubt your willingness to publicly wipe your charge’s ass when he shits on our military and their grieving families.

Shame on you, John Kelly – and shame on everyone like you, who prefer to excuse your “pResident’s” bullshit rather than show the courage to speak out against it.

Well THAT'S unrealistic. I mean, 'courage'? Nothing about Trump or his supporters bespeaks courage rather than moral imbecility and cowardice. Have at it righties, if you even read this far. Complete, syntactically correct sentences and coherent paragraphs being as daunting as they are to most of you.
