Florida Democrat Rep. Frederica Wilson said the death of the U.S. soldiers killed in Nigeria “is going to be Trump’s Benghazi.”
Wilson made the comment Wednesday during her appearance on “The View” while recounting the call the president made to the widow of Sgt. La David T. Johnson, who she knew personally from her mentor program in Florida. (RELATED: Fight Breaks Out On ‘The View’ Over Why Hillary Lost)
“My purpose was not necessarily there to hear Mr. Trump’s verbiage to the wife,” Wilson shared. “I want to know from Mr. Trump what happened to La David in Niger? Why was he the last one found? Why did it take 48 hours for them to discover him? Why wasn’t he in a car, an armored truck? Why did he have weapons weaker than the terrorist’s weapons?”
“Why were they able to surround them and kill them,” she added. “This is going to be Mr. Trump’s Benghazi because I cannot get the answers. Nobody can get the answers. Until we get those answers, it is his Benghazi and this whole thing about what he said to the widow is a cover up.”
“I just want to say one thing. This is a tragedy,” Meghan McCain interjected. “This young man died for our freedom and we should focus on that.”
