Unwilling to put the tussling behind him, President Trump on Saturday jabbed back at the Democratic lawmaker who has slammed him for his words of condolence to a military widow, calling Rep. Frederica Wilson "wacky" and contending she is "killing" her party. A Trump spokeswoman said it was "inappropriate" to question Kelly in light of his stature as a retired four-star general. The fight between Trump and the Miami-area Democrat began Tuesday, when Wilson said Trump told the pregnant widow of a service member killed in Niger that her 25-year-old husband "knew what he signed up for." Trump shot back that Wilson had "totally fabricated" the account, but the soldier's widow and aunt confirmed it as true. In return, Wilson told the New York Times that the White House "is full of white supremacists."
