MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid criticized White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly in tweets Thursday, saying he used the death of his son to defend President Donald Trump during Thursday’s White House press briefing.

Reid, who was not at the briefing, tweeted minutes after Kelly’s address, following uproar over Democratic Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson’s attacks against Trump. Wilson claimed the president made an insensitive phone call to the widow of Army Sgt. La David T. Johnson.

“Just landed and thanks to spotty wifi, just learning that Trump sent General Kelly out to use his son’s death to defend Trump. Unreal,” Reid’s first tweet said.

What a price to pay to serve such a president. That’s he’s apparently so willing only adds to the tragedy. https://t.co/WWEpMuXHOZ — Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) October 19, 2017

This is not the first time the MSNBC host sparked outrage on Twitter, she previously mocked former White House adviser Dr. Sebastian Gorka with a tweet that jokingly referred to Nazis. (RELATED: MSNBC’s Joy Reid Sparks Outrage With Nazi Joke)

Reid mocked Gorka with a picture that she commented on by tweeting, “When you get fired on vacation and Kelly yanks your temporary security clearance before you can get back. #Gorked #DidNaziThatComing”

A spokesperson for MSNBC did not respond to requests for comment about Reid’s tweets in time for publication.
