John Kelly Says 'Empty Barrels Make the Most Noise',
no, that is not about the person everyone is thinking of. it's directed at Dem Congressman who criticized him on immigration and particularly the dreamers.
<Kelly's statement came days after Rep. Luis V. Gutiérrez (D-Ill.) said in a news release that Kelly “lied straight to the faces of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus about preventing the mass deportation of DREAMers,” referring to DACA recipients.
“This is a man that says to me to my face, ‘I feel so bad for those dreamers. I’m the only one between them and their deportation,’ ” Gutiérrez told The Washington Post last Tuesday. “Well, if you think it’s wrong, then act on your principle.”
“General Kelly would not have abandoned his troops, but Chief of Staff Kelly apparently will,” Rivlin said.
Kelly responded to attacks on his character by saying “the congressman has a right to his opinion,” but declined to respond in kind.
“As my blessed mother used to say, ‘Empty barrels make the most noise,’ ” he said.>
