‘There It Is. The President Now Accusing Myeshia Johnson, a Gold Star Widow, of Lying’
No one is off-limits to an attack from President Donald Trump, not even the Gold Star widow of a fallen soldier whose body was missing for two days.
Literally minutes after Myeshia Johnson told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos Monday morning that she has “nothing” to say to President Trump, that his words when he called her made her “very upset and hurt,” “made me cry even worse,” and the worst part was that Trump could not remember her husband’s name, the commander-in-Chief attacked her.
Johnson, a mother of two who is expecting her third child, is the widow of U.S. Army Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed in action in Niger. The circumstances surrounding his death, and why his body was missing for two days are under investigation.
President Trump has a history of repeatedly attacking Gold Star families. Without hesitation he went after Khizr and Ghazala Khan, who spoke against him the summer before the 2016 election.
On social media, many are expressing anger over the president’s attack:
