“Never Trump” Members Have Hijacked the Presidential Personnel Office, Attack Trump Loyalist White House Staffers and Interns
Multiple sources within the White House have confirmed that Jana Toner, a member of the Presidential Personnel Office, is regularly heard publicly insulting prominent pro-Trump media figures, including former Breitbart Technology editor Milo Yiannopoulos and Infowars founder Alex Jones. Mrs. Toner has even told White House interns that sharing content from Mr. Yiannopoulos or Mr. Jones’ Infowars on social media is grounds for dismissal.
Furthermore, two White House interns recounted how other employees with the Presidential Personnel Office, at the direction of Mrs. Toner, have also threatened to blacklist them from the White House internship program if they have posted anything from Yiannopoulos, Jones, or Infowars on their personal social media accounts.
The first line on the White House internship program application demands to know the applicant’s “Contact information and social media accounts,” which in turn allows Mrs. Toner and her staffers use to weed out Trump supporters from the program.
One intern, who wished to remain anonymous described experiencing a “chilling effect” after a PPO employee who reports directly to Mrs. Toner declared: “We will search through your Facebook and we will find everything,” and “If you like Milo Yiannopolous or Alex Jones this isn’t the place for you” at the outset of the internship program. That same intern noted that the PPO employee who proclaimed this mispronounced both Mr. Yiannopoulos’ first and last names.
This news comes along with the firings of multiple Trump loyalists from the National Security Council by HR McMaster. McMaster was appointed National Security Advisor after the firing to Michael Flynn. McMaster was recommended to the White House by Senator Tom Cotton who has ties to notorious NeverTrump megadonor Paul Singer.

I can see why they’d be wary of those who follow Milo or Alex but I think firing’s a bit severe. It’s possible for reasonable people to disagree - Jim Rob doesn’t want Info wars on FR and Breitbart parted ways with Milo. I think the OP falsely implies it’s impossible to support Trump unless you endorse two specific controversial public figures.
Bingo!
That’s what some Freepers on this thread FAIL to understand. Do these Freepers really think the Deep State likes Free Republic???
What they fail to connect is that if they are okay with censorship..., then it’s only a matter of time until they are censored.
What I was thinking.
Toner is a Bush family loyalist, having served the George W. Bush Administration in numerous capacities. From 2003–2004, she worked as a Special Assistant in the Department of Public Affairs in the Department of Energy under Bush’s first Secretary of Energy and top ally, Spencer Abraham, who was given that Cabinet position after he lost his US Senate reelection in Michigan. While he was a Senator, Abraham had infamously blocked Bill Clinton’s plan to cut legal immigration, for which he was awarded the “Defender of the Melting Pot” award from La Raza, a far-left, open borders group. Toner later went on to work in a number of capacities for Bush’s Department of Education, which oversaw the wildly unpopular “No Child Left Behind” policy, until the conclusion of Bush’s second term. A White House source familiar with the situation confirmed Toner’s personal views align more closely with those of neoconservative politicians like George W. Bush and Spencer Abraham than those of nationalists like President Trump, insisting “it’s no secret that Jana was fiercely opposed to Donald Trump in the primaries.”
Toner’s ties to the Bush family go far deeper than that — she is married to prominent election lawyer and GOP establishment power-broker Michael E. Toner, a Jeb Bush loyalist who served the former Florida Governor’s failed presidential campaign as his Outside Counsel. Mr. Toner is also a former CNN employee whom the network enlisted as a “delegate analyst” in the build up to the 2016 Republican National Convention as part of the network’s repeated efforts to float the idea of a so-called “delegate revolt.” Toner’s role at CNN focused on the network’s idea of ignoring Trump’s dominant showings in the primaries in favor of party insiders handpicking a different nominee, with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s name at the top of the GOP old guard’s wish list.
Mr. Toner has also held a litany of elite positions in Washington politics, including Chief Counsel of the RNC (2001–02), Commissioner of the Federal Election Commission (2002–07), and Chairman of the Federal Election Commission (2006). Toner, who since 2011 has been a partner at Wiley Rein, a white-shoe, DC-based law and lobbying firm, is on record boasting about the potential lobbying opportunities in the incoming Trump Administration. Just two days after the real estate tycoon’s stunning upset victory on November 8th, Mr. Toner tweeted “Busy months ahead for K Street: Trump victory could mean big business for K Street,” with a link to a Washington Post article.

don't like it ? don't work there.
I was just about to ask, who is this witch?
She should leave if her loyalty is with Jebbie.
I didn't think so
She'd rather do what she can to undermine the Trump administration.
Trump needs a staff like Obama’s. Chicago sanctions with extreme prejudice would go a long way toward stopping leaks. Too bad Valerie and Rahm are on the other payroll.
It shouldn't be - she's clearly part of the swamp.
Kind of hard to drain the swamp when it is one guy against an army of swamp things.
Perhaps you can come up with some good ideas to help him.
No they work for the people. She is a servant...
She betraying Trump’s base and helping the never Trumpers scum.
Yes, Cheap Labor Express stooge all the way.
Just look at who brought these people in, was itt Rinse Prenuts.
Now we’re learning something. Thanks for that post!
White House leaks and internal personnel subversion are equally treasonous activities. Both Sessions and Kelly need to get in gear fast. On the personnel front, I wonder how much of this subversion was put in place by Priebus before he left?
Interesting, the discredited Infowars said exactly this was going to happen some time ago, that the establishment GOP was going to try to isolate Trump, and then impeach him.
I’ve never seen a Dem administration say that if you quote DailyKos or MoveOn.org that you’d be fired.
I guess this is why we’re known also as the “Stupid Party”.
