Rep. Frederica Wilson’s Tweets
General Kelly owes the nation an apology because when he lied about me, he lied to the American public.
Today, I relived one of the most painful times in my life on the House floor. I shared my experience of being forced to carry my dead baby. Prohibited by law to induce labor, I carried my deceased child inside me for two months and almost died. We can't go back.
I stand by what I said. John Kelly owes the nation an apology because when he lied about me, he lied to the American public.
She murdered a woman in front of her 9-year-old child. Racism and hate played out in real time, in living color—cold-blooded hate.
She didn’t kill a stranger. She murdered her neighbor, whom she had known and hated for years. She must be arrested NOW! TODAY!
Sgt. La David Johnson is a hero. does not possess the character, empathy or grace to be president of the United States.
Name-calling is for children. We need an adult to get to the bottom of what happened in #Niger. Point blank period.
We 👏🏾 need 👏🏾 answers 👏🏾
General Kelly owes the nation an apology. When he lied about me, he lied to the American public.
Comparing impeachment to a #lynching is one of the most despicable and disgusting things to come out of this president’s mouth and that’s really saying something. Anyone who tries to defend this remark is just as reprehensible.

I stand my account of the call with and was not the only one who heard and was dismayed by his insensitive remarks.
Well, we demand a merit based PRESIDENCY!

On this historic day in Congress, it was my privilege to cast the decisive 218th vote required to elect @NancyPelosi Speaker of the House. How cool is that?
When was president, he saluted members of the military and feted them and their families at the White House. He celebrated the nation, not himself.
General Kelly owes the nation an apology because when he lied about me, he lied to the American public.
The “Don’t Say Gay” bill isn’t just hateful - it’s homophobic and ignorant, and it only moves us further away from the progress we’ve made as a nation.
Today, Florida state senators must do what is right and vote against this bill.
John Kelly owes the nation an apology because when he lied about me, he lied to the American people...among other things (see below).

How dare the president call or any black woman a dog! RT if you agree that is going way too far!
I cannot wait to find out how much the president's Fourth of July event is going to cost taxpayers and what kind of services and resources that amount of money could have provided for veterans and others who have actually served our great nation.
With new charges being made against JEFFREY EPSTEIN, don't forget that as a US attorney LABOR SECRETARY ACOSTA cut a deal with this abuser of young girls to let him off with a slap on the wrist. I questioned at an @EdLaborCmte hearing.

We cannot put childbearing women at risk because of a group of ludicrous, hateful, majority-male Congress who have never experienced pregnancy or childbirth but take pride in monitoring women's vaginas. How dare you!
Talk of a "public hanging" is reprehensible from anyone but even more so when it's an elected official.
This news is very unfortunate, but I'm not surprised. Are you?
Replying to
I was wheeled out of the maternity ward empty-handed and overcome with grief as I watched other moms celebrate their newborns.
Abortions don't just apply to women who've decided they are not ready to have a child. It affects women who are faced with medical emergencies.
Hmmm. What exactly, I wonder, would be the right "compromise" between slavery and freedom for human beings?
Amazing!!!!!
It was an honor to witness sign the historic #Juneteenth National Independence Day Act at the White House today!
I strongly agreed with @NancyPelosi when at an event in my district she stated that as members of Congress we have an obligation to tackle issues on a global scale. She has stood by me in my campaign to end suffering in west Africa and I stand with her in her bid for Speaker.

Americans deserve relief.
And referred to Myeshia as "the woman" and "the wife" during yesterday's appearance on TV. They have names: La David and Myeshia Johnson.

Another outrage @RepWilson shared w/ me and on @TheView: @realDonaldTrump never called #SgtLaDavidJohnson by name. Called him "my guy."

Can Donald Trump fly from city to city on Air Force One to campaign and have Americans pay the tab? Isn’t that illegal?

I am about to speak on the House floor to remind my colleagues and the American public that there are still many questions that must be answered about the ambush in Niger that killed Sgt. La David Johnson and 3 fellow soldiers. #AnswersNow!
I absolutely condemn ’s immigration comments today. There is no excuse for racism. , get woke!

Assault weapons regardless of origin, make or model should be permanently banned for civilian use. They should be issued only to military personnel & law enforcement. They are weapons of mass destruction & were created for one purpose: to kill. Society is better off without them!

Did Donald Trump just disparage the families sitting around the table trying to make difficult financial decisions, like shall we pay for rent, electricity, food, or heat, etc.?
I would like to know, too.
I am a former school principal who continues to be immersed in the lives of children and am at a loss about how to explain to them how a president of the united states can be so cruel and callous toward black and brown people.
It pays to have a thick skin in public service. We need to know why #SgtLaDavidJohnson & fellow soldiers were in such a vulnerable position.
