President Trump blasted Rep. Frederica Wilson in a tweet Thursday night, calling her “wacky” and accusing the Florida Democrat of lying about the content of his phone call with the family of a fallen soldier.
“The Fake News is going crazy with wacky Congresswoman Wilson(D), who was SECRETLY on a very personal call, and gave a total lie on content!” Trump tweeted.

Trump has faced major backlash for comments he is said to have made to the widow of a solider who was killed in an attack in Niger earlier this month.
Wilson said earlier this week that Trump told the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson that Johnson “knew what he signed up for … but when it happens it hurts anyway.”
