Rep. Frederica Wilson: Green Beret’s Widow Said to Me Trump Didn’t Even Remember His Name

‘That’s the hurting part’

GEIST: "Florida Democrat Frederica Wilson joins us now from Miami. She recounted that phone conversation to reporters yesterday, saying the president told the fallen soldier's widow that her husband, quote, 'Knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurts.' Congresswoman, thank you for being with us. If you could, just recap what exactly happened yesterday. You’re in the car with Ms. Johnson there. The President calls, it goes up on speaker phone, and what did you hear from the President?"
WILSON: "Exactly what you said. That’s not the worst part. She was crying the whole time and when she hung up the phone, she looked at me and said, 'He didn’t even remember his name.' That’s the hurting part."
