Gen. John Kelly, enabler

Remember when Gen. Kelly was supposed to be the “adult” in the White House.  As Chief of Staff he would moderate Trump’s worst impulses and keep him from doing harm.

So much for that.  When he attacked the Florida Congresswoman last year and lied about her conduct, that was boorish behavior, especially after his lies were uncovered and he refused to apologize, but lots of people wrote it off, thinking he was overwrought.

Then there was the comment about the “Dreamers.”  He said they didn’t register because they were too lazy to get off their asses.  He failed to mention that registration cost $500.  (Did you have $500 when you were 16?)  

Finally, he knew about a fellow White House operative who abused not one, but two former wives.  Not a problem.  In the Trump White House, boys will be boys.  


I’d say it is about time Kelly followed Flynn into early retirement.
