The Trump administration has fired the White House chief usher — the first woman and second African-American to hold the nonpartisan position, according to a report.
The White House residence staff was told Friday morning that Angella Reid, appointed in 2011 by President Obama, had been canned, without offering an explanation, the Washington Post reported, citing a source.
“We are very grateful for her service and wish her the very best,” a White House official confirmed, declining to provide details.
Reid was only the third usher to be booted in more than a century — and the first since then-first lady Hillary Clinton canned an usher in 1994 for supposed disloyalty.
White House ushers are on duty 24/7, taking care of the first family’s needs and overseeing the staff, including chefs, florists, maids, butlers, chefs, carpenters and other workers who take care of the presidential residence.
The chief usher in particular works closely with the president and his family.
Reid had replaced the first African-American chief usher, Adm. Stephen W. Rochon, after he took a job at the Department of Homeland Security.

Their mistake was not firing ALL Obama hires!!
Billy Dale was unavailable for comment.......
Did they find a bandana and black hoodie? Antifa, BAMN?
Another mole bites the dust.
The 3rd vegetarian , fifth non-cat owner and fourth break dancer.
She is not black she is part black.
Their ya go again reading my mind :-). Love to know if she is one, as someone noted over on CTH, all the drama has stopped. Wasn't someone else let go recently as well? hmmm....
She’s Jamaican...and black.
Angella Reid, appointed in 2011 by President Obama
The Fake News just keeps on coming.
Unless these urinalists can prove Trump fired her, they need to apologize to our President.
She was let go, but not by Trump.
I’m starting to wonder if she’s even a citizen?? Her bio is brief....really brief.
Is someone Jamacican a big deal out of it?
>>She is not black she is part black.
From the photo, I’d say that the top part is all black. ;-)
The “optics” of this are so bad. Fire all the Obama hires, but don’t single out a black woman like this.
We’ll know if she writes a book about President Trump in her future.
Trump can find his own seat.
That used to be a position that was non-political and they served through many administrations. I read a book out several years ago; “Upstairs at the White House” written by J.B. West that had been Chief Usher for 28 years through many presidencies.
Could very well be she turned out not to be so non-political, and was quite possibly a leaker to media and other politicians. That is my guess, a mole.
