On the day Hope Hicks announced she would be leaving her post as White House communications director, she was "a puddle of tears" during the White House communications meeting Wednesday, according to one eyewitness. President Trump was angered by Hicks' testimony before the House Intelligence Committee -- angered by the fact that she admitted to the panel over the course of nine hours of testimony that she told "white lies" on his behalf. It is doubtful that this would have caused her to resign.

There goes some class from the Trump administration. I think she should have used “spin” instead of little white lies.

According to two knowledgeable sources, there is a leading candidate to replace Hicks -- Mercedes Schlapp, who is currently the head of strategic communications for the White House.

Mercedes Schlapp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schlapp is a first-generation Cuban-American raised in Florida, whose father was jailed for six years by the Castro regime. She is married to Matt Schlapp, since 2014 the chairman of the American Conservative Union.[2] The Schlapps have five daughters[3] and attend a Catholic church.

The story says it’s about Kelly undermining power of Kushner and Ivanka. If that’s true, not necessarily bad

white lies = untenable

“it was revealed that allegations that he had abused his two ex-wives were standing in this way of his permanent security clearance.”

Why? What the Hell does that have to do with a security clearance?

Make James Woods the new communications director.

A lack of emotional discipline is a character flaw. How would such a person react to slights or reverses in their job? A desire for revenge against an employer sometimes results in espionage.

Woods is great except for his tweets about ‘our most fundamental right, the right to vote’

Not sure where he gets that...I guess people on twitter haven’t corrected him yet

"Why? What the Hell does that have to do with a security clearance?"

Good catch. Allegations alone from exes have nothing to do with it, although exes are contacted for other reasons. That is, unless policies for background checks and clearances have been changed to commit libel in records. But man-haters have caused many to be fired from jobs with the feminist trademark tactic of taking false accusations to bosses and the general public (directly committing libel). Porter's resignation was a result of that.

And of course, Porter has nothing to do with Hicks' resignation.

The best thing Jared and Ivanka could do for this president is to pack up the kids and head back to New York.

So, she’s white and lied.

Not guilty...

What does Woods say about voting?

So, she’s white and lied.

Not to mention drop-dead gorgeous.

mmmhmm. the girl is 29 years old. theres a reason that most of my friends in this world are like 40+. the ones i trust the most are like 50+. thats because they are pretty much set in their ways and i can get a better feel of who to trust and who not to trust dealing with people older than me. I worked with people in their teens and 20s in small market radio for years. you think you have a friends and a knife hits you in the back.

She should have said that she merely interpreted events from the Administrations Perspective, but never to the extent that she would have to define the meaning of is.
