Rep. Russell on Frederica Wilson: ‘I Don’t Think She Has the Comprehension’ of Military Operations

EXCERPT:

JACKSON: "Frederica Wilson, a colleague of your there in Congress, Democrat, of course, she has questions about this. She has concerns that she is raising in a new interview with 'The Post' talking about how this is strange. She calls it very suspicious, very unsettling for herself and for the sergeant's family. Do you have the same concerns about what happened to Sgt. Johnson?"
RUSSELL: "I think -- you know, we've been in some of the same hearings together. She came in for one of the classified hearings. With respect to Ms. Wilson, and I served on the committee with her at last session of Congress, I don’t think that she has the context or comprehension of the military operations quite frankly. What I will say is that La David Johnson was a hero that day. He went down fighting. He wasn’t captured. He wasn’t any of that. All of these speculations. And it wasn’t like he wasn’t trained. He was a by name request as a support to the special forces. They get to pick who they want to support. And he was a by name request to repeat and go back with them. That’s what kind of soldier he was. He was very trained and he was a hero that day."
