President-elect Donald Trump should not select Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus as his Chief of Staff, says Michael Savage, the national talk radio host and author of the new book Scorched Earth: Restoring the Country After Obama.
Priebus is “the enemy within,” Savage warns.
“He’s the RNC! Everything the voters rejected,” Savage tells Breitbart News. “He will steer Trump away from every policy we sent him to D.C. to change. He is the enemy within. He is [Paul] Ryan, [Mitch] McConnell, and the Old Guard. They do not want change. ‘Out with the old, in with the new.'”
A close Ryan ally, Priebus was responsible for the GOP “autopsy” following the Romney-Ryan loss of 2012. One of its conclusions held that, to win elections, Republicans must embrace an immigration agenda that would import future voters who tend to overwhelmingly support Democrat policies. The Priebus manifesto argued against opposing amnesty and appealing to the Republican electorate’s “core constituency.”
“We must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform. If we do not, our Party’s appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only,” the Priebus report stated.
By contrast, for years Savage has argued that Republican candidates should run campaigns on “borders, language, and culture.”
“I call him ‘Rinse,'” Savage said of Priebus, adding that’s “what Trump should do with his advice.”
Savage’s talk radio show, which is one of the most listened-to talk radio programs in the country, reaches an audience over 20 million listeners and is syndicated by over some 400 stations nationwide. This week, Savage will be inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in the category of Spoken Word On-Air Personality.

I’m not so sure. I’ve seen Reince speak several times, but the first time he was ever really alive, enthusiastic and sincere was when he was promoting Donald Trump and his agenda. I trust Trump’s judgment on this one.
I think Donald is giving the RINOS the rope to hang themselves. Then he’s played ball, and can hold it against them while he kicks them out.
Am I alone in thinking Priebus looks like Tom Hanks?
Trump’s picking Reince Priebus as his Chief of Staff didn’t happen without Kellyann’s approval. That’s good enough for me.
Agreed. makes me wonder why Freepers are falling all over themselves for this ass hat. I already know there will be leaks from the WH starting January and he’s prime suspect 1. Probably on the phone telling Ryan he’ll be sacked come January and look “surprised”...
I think you’re alone. :)
Priebus has been a great help to Donald and probably played a bigger role in his big “W” than most people realize. Michael needs to move out of San Francisco, that pot smoke permeating the area will get to you!
I don’t much care for Savage but I think that he’s right on this.
Savage and the rest of the yakkers may as well change the name of their programs to “Second Guessing Trump 2017”.
How boring.
To be honest, it doesnt bother me in the least.
Reince is kind of a weasel, but we have to be honest. His job is getting Republicans elected, and every year except 2012, he has done a damn good job. Thats not to say those Republicans have been good, but the quality of them isn’t really his responsibility. Also, I’ve heard as GOP moderates were telling him to pressure Trump to be less populist, he said no, and committed to Trump’s line as the future of the GOP.
Bannon is an EXCELLENT choice for chief strategist. will drive the left nuts.
I think these two picks show Trump is ready to govern, but will continue to position himself as an outsider. Very good news.
friends close
enemies CLOSER!
Somehow I doubt Trump is some weak-willed buffoon that is going to be manipulated and lead down the primrose path by Priebus. Perhaps it's just the opposite, Trump is going to steer Priebus into supporting HIS policies, because he knows the rest of the RINO's will listen to Priebus on such issues.
I know this off-topic,
what the H! kind of name is Reince Priebus?
I am genuinely curious.
First name sounds like dutch or maybe german.
But Priebus has me stumped.
Think of it this way.....
Picking Reince for the CoS now leaves the RNC chair position open. Once Trump gets someone in that he likes, he can then tell Reince ‘sorry bud, you didn’t cut the mustard. You’re fired!’.
Trump’s got this far Let’s just watch. Besides, which other enemy would he choose to keep close?
Reince was loyal to Trump.
More than any of us know.
He and Spitzer led a hell of a ground game.
I wasn’t a big fan originally. But became one after the convention.
Plus Trump gave him some real and sincere credit a couple days ago.
Go Reince.
Shut up, Savage.
He’s a Greek
This, exactly.
How on earth can anyone seriously think that Rinse Prius or anyone else can push Trump into abandoning his agenda?
I agree, Trump is not exactly weak willed.
