Gen. John Kelly’s “attack” on Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson led all of the broadcast network newscasts Thursday night and managed to dominate social media as well. Wilson, however, seemed to have missed all of the hubbub at the time.
CBS News’s Alan He found a video of Wilson reacting to news of Kelly’s remarks, though:

That’s right; she’s going to have to tell her kids she’s a rock star now. Good to known Kelly’s solemn remarks on Gold Star families resonated with Wilson’s funny bone.

Wearing the cowboy hat was a major mistake. This … is so far beyond a mistake.
"I"m a rock star now!" [chortle chortle!]

This is the action of a woman who has a pathological need for attention. Same with the Rodeo Clown hats and outfits. Sick. https://t.co/XVhsYphkxj
