Trump: Rep. Wilson’s Statement About John Kelly Was ‘Sickening’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "And by the way, I spoke of the name of the young man, and I — it was a really — it’s a very tough call. Those are the toughest calls."
BARTIROMO: "Very tough —"
TRUMP: "These are tougher than dealing with the heads of countries, believe me. These are very very hard calls. They are sad and sometimes, you know, the grieving is so incredible. But he’s just an elegant man and a wonderful man, and he is doing a fantastic job as chief."
BARTIROMO: "The congresswoman Wilson, she said oh, everything he said was because he’s just trying to keep his job.
TRUMP: "Yeah, he doesn’t need this job. In fact he didn’t really want this job. He was so happy — you know, he’s a military guy. He was doing this incredible job on the border and elsewhere. You know, he ran homeland like nobody has ever run it, down 78% at the border crossings."
BARTIROMO: "Incredible."
TRUMP: "He was — there’s nobody close. You go to the original first day, there was nobody close to doing the job. And I said, I’d like to take you. How would you like it? And it’s not that he wanted it. Actually he would have preferred doing and staying where he was. He’s a man that felt it would be important for the country. He does it for the country. He’s not doing it for what he wants. He does it for the country. A very unusual man. When she made that statement, I thought it was sickening actually."
