The left must be resisted in this matter with General Kelly, but if the affair vis-a-vis Porter is true as it appears, then Porter must suffer consequences. TD
The swamp things take aim at General Kelly "A minor personnel matter among the White House staff, and just like that, the swamp press is all over it with headlines like "Memo: Knives come out for Kelly," as The Hill reported, in what's that Beltway organ's top-read story.
General Kelly |
"Seems one of President Trump's top aides, Rob Porter, turns out to have some kind of history of wife-beating, according to two angry ex-wives.
"In the past, just having two ex-wives would probably signal a problem, but we all knew what we were doing when we elected President Trump. Sometimes, the personal picture is irrelevant.
"Apparently, Porter did a good job of getting information to President Trump and helping craft his dyno State of the Union address (to use an old Southern California surfer term).
"That was enough to make him a target, and amazingly, the left wants Trump's top lieutenant, Gen. John Kelly, to go down with him, too. According to the same piece in The Hill:" . . .
"Porter had some personal problems, Kelly doesn't. Can anyone say this move to oust Kelly along with Porter isn't about trying to weaken, chaotify, and ultimately take down President Trump?. . .
The hypocrisy here is palpable."
The Memo: Knives come out for Kelly "Sources close to the White House say chief of staff John Kelly has suffered a serious blow to his standing from the bungled resignation of staff secretary Rob Porter, who has been accused of domestic abuse. (See also: Porter denies the allegations)
"Kelly’s most vehement critics even suggest the episode could herald his demise within the administration. " . . .
"But Shah had a thankless task in trying to defend a White House, and a chief of staff, that had expressed total confidence in Porter amid allegations of domestic abuse by two ex-wives — only to cut him loose within hours. ". . .
John Kelly And White House Counsel Knew For Months Of Aide’s Abusive Past (So Why Didn’t They Act?) . . . "Some reports now are that White House communications director Hope Hicks crafted the initial White House response.
"Hicks and Porter are dating now, according to sources (and those pics of the two making out in the back of a cab), so it’s going to take Porter doing to her what he did to two wives and at least one girlfriend before she gets the message.
"Again, somebody go check on Hope Hicks. This is the second hateful, obnoxious member of the Trump team she’s been romantically linked to.
"Porter’s second wife, Jennie Willoughby appeared on CNN on Thursday evening with Anderson Cooper, and predicted that if Porter has not abused Hicks yet, he will, as he has done nothing to resolve his anger issues.
"Kelly was forced to issue a second statement on Wednesday evening, in light of the growing controversy:" . . .
