Florida Dem Who Criticized Trump for Disrespecting Soldier's Widow Has Terrible Record of Helping Vets

Leah Barkoukis / Townhall Tipsheet

It turns out the Florida Democrat who criticized President Trump this week for making insensitive remarks toward the widow of a fallen U.S. soldier doesn’t exactly have a great track record herself when it comes to helping veterans.

Congresswoman Frederica Wilson has repeatedly voted against bills that help veterans and their families, according to VoteSmart.org.

The measures that Wilson opposed included a bill that could have ensured that families of four soldiers slain in Afghanistan in 2013 received death and burial benefits. […]

Despite Wilson's claim to be “committed to honoring our service members, not only with words but with deeds,” she has voted against most bills ensuring continued funding for veteran benefits, including payments to widows of fallen soldiers, the vote-tracking site shows.

She has also opposed measures designed to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Insane: Hillary Clinton Compares Russian Election Interference to 9/11

In her comments to a London audience on Sunday, Hillary Clinton showed two things. One, that she has lost her clear memories of that dark September day in 2001, where she presided over the recovery effort as a New York senator. And two, that she has allowed her intense anger and resentment over losing the 2016 election to cloud her sense of perspective to such a degree that she should think long and hard before doing anymore press appearances. Because this is worse than her usual babble; in comparing Russia’s hacking of the Democratic National Committee to the worst terror attack in American history, she has veered completely off the stage of sanity.

“I think there are a lot more connections that have yet to come to light,” Clinton said of the Russian interference. “We had really well-respected security, intelligence veterans saying this was a cyber 9/11, in the sense it was a direct attack on our institutions. That may sound dramatic, but we know that they probed and tried to intrude into election systems — not just the social media propaganda part of their campaign.”

Clinton said that the Russians were “not done” interfering in our democracy.

“This is an ongoing threat,” she warned.

3,000 Americans died in the 9/11 attacks, so Hillary’s allusion to that event is not just “dramatic,” it’s disrespectful and dangerous. It weakens the very memory of that dark day, trivializes the thousands who were killed or injured in the attacks, and makes a mockery of the U.S. soldiers who sacrificed so much in the subsequent war on terror.

UK government: Manchester jihad massacre not a hate crime

Because, you see, attacks upon “British or Western values” are not hate crimes as far as British authorities are concerned. Hate crimes can only be committed against Muslims, in the form of “offensive language.” A mass murder attack? Pah! It’s the price of “diversity”! (Thanks to Jihad Watch reader Michael for the scans.)

Media Coverage: “MAN” convicted of plotting to behead Pamela Geller for ISIS

By Pamela Geller / THE GELLER REPORT

Unlike when the story first broke, the media is actually covering the conviction on all counts of the ringleader in an Islamic plot to behead me although they are reporting “man convicted” which is deceptive and inaccurate. Man? Daoud Wright is a devout Muslim who plotted to behead me in the cause of Islam. This jihad cell wasn’t doing it “for ISIS,” they were doing in the cause of Islam. Needless to say, none of them called me for comment.

Brigitte Gabriel: Dangerous for Media to Cite "Hate Group" SPLC

via MRC

One conservative leader is warning Americans against consuming “lamestream media” stories citing the Southern Poverty Law Center.

MRC Culture spoke with ACT for America Founder Brigitte Gabriel at the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit (VVS) in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 13. During the interview, Gabriel called out the SPLC for “creating hatred in the country” and accused the group of “working with radical Islamists coming together within our own country.”

 

ACT for America calls itself the “nation’s largest nonprofit, non-partisan, grassroots national security organization” with 750,000 members. But according to the SPLC, ACT for America is an “extremist group” serving as the “largest anti-Muslim group in America.” The SPLC recently targeted the organization’s national conference and called VVS, where Gabriel spoke, the “peak convergence of anti-LGBT and anti-Muslim movements.”

Gabriel responded to the SPLC, telling MRC Culture, “The SPLC is targeting all conservative organizations who love America, basically,” she said. “They are now going after anybody who does not agree with their point of view.”  Click on link tho see Brigitte Gabriel's interview with MRC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEm_e_WDuzE&feature=youtu.be

The SPLC is backed by Hollywood, the tech industry and the media. Back in September, 47 conservative leaders and organizations urged news outlets to cease use of SPLC data in a letter signed by MRC President Brent Bozell.
