So what did the widow have to say? All I see is what "Representative Wilson" had to say about the President's comment.

Not sure, I think that shes still grieving means she is probably trying to avoid the press, but the soldiers mother has responded. URL is too long, but Ill quote part of this Washington Post article:

She was crying the whole time, and when she hung up the phone, she looked at me and said, He didnt even remember his name. Thats the hurting part.

Wilson went on to say Trump was almost like joking. He said, Well, I guess you knew something to the effect that he knew what he was getting into when he signed up, but I guess it hurts anyway. You know, just matter-of-factly, that this is what happens, anyone who is signing up for military duty is signing up to die. Thats the way we interpreted it. It was horrible. It was insensitive. It was absolutely crazy, unnecessary. I was livid.

She was in tears. She was in tears. And she said, He didnt even remember his name.

On Tuesday, Wilson told The Washington Post that Trump had told Johnson's widow, He knew what he was signing up for, but I guess it hurts anyway.

Wilson said she was riding in a limousine with Johnson when the president called, and said she heard the conversation on speakerphone.

He made her cry, Wilson said.
