Democratic Rep. Frederica S. Wilson said Trump told Army Sgt. La David Johnson’s pregnant widow that he “knew what he signed up for…but when it happens, it hurts anyway.” Johnson was killed earlier this month during an attack in Africa. Wilson on Friday again criticized President Trump over his call to a Gold Star widow — saying his comments were “not a good message to say to anyone who has lost a child at war.”
What has Wilson’s voting record on veteran’s issues been?
VoteSmart.org, a site that tracks voting records, shows that Wilson hasn’t supported several measures that would have helped veterans and their families – including financially. Specifically, she opposed a measure that would have given the families of four soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan in 2013 death and burial benefits.
She has also opposed measures to reform the embattled Department of Veterans Affairs. And Wilson has voted against measures multiple times that would ensure veterans and their families would still receive benefits despite government shutdowns.
What I hear from President Trump is nothing like Frederica S. Wilson has said.
