It doesnt matter whether you think Trump or Frederica Wilson is a liar

... It started when President Trump falsely accused his predecessors of failing to call the families of deceased soldiers. Maybe it would have ended there too ...

Really, though, who cares?

At almost every turn, the adversaries in this week’s squabble have said that it isn’t about politics, only to turn around and take political potshots ...
