First we should consider who put Kelly into the mix in the first place.  Who was it that actually tried to make calling family members about themselves.  Who also was it when they could have just apologize to the widow and tried to make it sound like she lied.  I have nothing against Kelly but he did try to make his boss look good in this mess caused by his boss.  He pretty much tried to say everyone is bad for making it political forgetting the person who started it all and made it political was his boss.  So yeah, she probably had every right to laugh because I know I would.

I'm just relaying information on the matter that I find. In any case, I do believe that the incessant politicisation of this topic is disrespectful and counterproductive.
That doesn't excuse her reaction, though. She makes it look as if she did it for popularity and not for the widow - a more sober press release should be in order clarifying her position on the Chief of Staff's speech.

Here's another phone call to another Gold Star widow, made in April 2017.
