The former press secretary for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign blasted White House Chief of Staff John Kelly in the latest chapter to the saga involving President Donald Trump's phone call to a gold star wife.

Brian Fallon reacted on Twitter to Kelly's appearance at the White House press briefing Thursday, in which he said Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., accused Trump of being insensitive to a woman whose Army Ranger husband was killed in Niger earlier this month.

Wilson also spoke out following Kelly's statement, saying, "John Kelly's trying to keep his job. He will say anything."
