If Chief-of-staff John Kelly is going to hold a press conference to express his disappointment with the behavior of Florida Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, then this opens the doors for him to begin speaking out on the behavior of his white male counterparts including his boss, Trump. Certainly, Mrs. Wilson's actions does not come close to some of the bad behavior of White House cabinet members who Kelley is suppose to be monitoring. Public criticism from the chief-of-staff cannot be one-sided. His speech today conveniently left out Trump's initiating the subject by politicizing that he is better than other presidents in contacting the bereaved relatives of troops who died protecting the U.S.. Further, there was no mention in Kelly's speech of any disappointment with Trump's decision to selfishly make a point in bragging that Kelly was not contacted by President Obama after the passing of his son. Kelly's speech today conveyed exactly what he was speaking out against, "politicizing an action", when he chastised Congresswoman Wilson but failed to do so in Trump's case. How could his press conference not appear to be instigated by Trump?
Update - 10/20/2017
Trump has always showed his true colors so the public generally knows what to expect from a man who does not usually displays any tact. But, Chief-of-staff Kelly, after remaining silent for such a long time, showed his true colors during yesterday's press conference. It was not enough to politicize his concerns by belittling Congresswoman Wilson, but he bold faced lied about Wilson taking credit in obtaining funding for the new FBI headquarters while she attended the building's dedication in Miramar, FL. Fortunately, the Sun Sentinel Newspaper's video tape proved that Kelly is basically a deceitful, dangerous man.
