Always Remember, THIS is what conservatives felt best represented them... October 17, 2017 2:10 pm RL

I really thought nothing this creature did could stun me, but this left me speechless. What is telling, however, is how the conservatives have remained silent on his daily atrocities….

Trump: Ask Kelly whether Obama called after his son was killed in action

President Donald Trump, in defense of his claim that President Barack Obama didn’t call the loved ones of fallen soldiers, floated the idea Tuesday that reporters ask his chief of staff, retired Gen. John Kelly, whether Obama called him after his son died in Afghanistan.

The comment came during an interview on Fox News Radio.
“As far as other presidents, I don’t know, you could ask Gen. Kelly, did he get a call from Obama? I don’t know what Obama’s policy was,” Trump said.
Kelly’s son Robert died when he stepped on a landmine in Afghanistan in 2010. Kelly, a retired four-star Marine general, was a lieutenant general at the time.

Multiple White House officials have told CNN that Obama did not call Kelly when his son was killed.
CNN asked the White House to talk to Kelly about this issue, but they declined to make him available. Kelly also has not responded to a direct request from comment from CNN.
“I write letters and I also call,” Trump said of himself. “I have called, I believe everybody, but I will use the word virtually everybody.”
In the first year of Obama’s term, 466 American troops died in Iraq and Afghanistan, compared to 25 this year. A spokesman for Obama declined a CNN request for comment about Trump’s remarks.
Kelly and his wife, Karen Hernest Kelly, attended a 2011 Memorial Day breakfast for Gold Star families, those men and women whose children were killed in action, according to an aide, speaking on background.
The aide said the Kellys were seated at then-first lady Michelle Obama’s table.
