12. Yup he was right by trump's side

Oct 2023

when he was insulting Gold Star families.

General John Kelly said he was "broken-hearted" by the Democrat's criticism of the president's condolence call to Sgt La David Johnson's wife.

Sgt Johnson was one of four killed in Niger by Islamist militants this month.

Gen Kelly also said he did not receive a call from President Barack Obama when his son died in Afghanistan in 2010.

^^^^^Except that part he left out about sitting at the head table, with the Obamas, at a luncheon to honor Gold Star families.^^^^

IOW he lied to protect trump.

Not just once, but several times. He racially insulted Rep Fredricka Wilson and spread lies about her. He couldn't bend over fast enough to kiss trump's ass.

FUCK HIM. He has no honor.
