File this under the category of petty.

But if cowboy hat wearing Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) is going to ding President Trump for what he allegedly said to the widow of a fallen soldier who was killed in Niger, maybe she could spell the grieving woman’s name right?

It’s Myeshia, not Myesha.

Her husband was Sgt. La David Johnson.

Wilson said Tuesday night that she was there in the car when the widow received the call from Trump, who she said treated her insensitively. Can you even imagine that from Trump? She made the rounds on CNN and MSNBC morning programs.

Word to the wise: Don’t sign Wilson up for the Spelling Bee anytime soon.
