Democratic Representative Frederica Wilson called Trump disrespectful after he told Myeshia Johnson, widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, that he knew what he signed up for, and of course, Trump hit back by calling her a liar. But Wilson won’t back down – in fact, she boldly stands by her account of what happened, putting the Toddler-In-Chief in his place:
I stand my account of the call with @realDonaldTrump and was not the only one who heard and was dismayed by his insensitive remarks.

Myeshia Johnson wasn’t alone when Trump spoke to her. Sgt. Johnson’s mother was present as well, and she’s already corroborated Johnson’s version of events. But Trump is backed into a corner, so he’s put his best spin masters on this in another attempt to come out of something smelling like roses.
But Wilson pointed out a second round of disrespect towards Johnson and her loss that many may have missed. Trump apparently hasn’t been saying her name, calling her “the woman,” and “the wife.” Either he’s forgotten or he never knew, or he’s intentionally demeaning her. So Wilson also tweeted this:
I still stand by my account of the call b/t @realDonaldTrump and Myeshia Johnson. That is her name, Mr. Trump. Not “the woman” or “the wife”

According to Wilson, Johnson was in tears while she spoke to Trump, and after she hung up, she turned and said, “He didn’t even remember his name.” Wilson said it sounded like Trump was almost joking, which is about as disrespectful as you can get on something like this.
