Some rather cowardly White House resignations: They're about to be out of a job due to election fraud but are resigning at the last hour over chaos at the Capitol on 'principle.'?

The press was having a field day bashing President Trump in noting the resignations and withdrawals from his White House of some rather cowardly officials.

According to 'Dear Diary' Jim Acosta, in a tweet

FLOTUS chief of staff and former press sec Stephanie Grisham has submitted her resignation,

@KateBennett_DC reporting.

And this is what Twitter itself noted in its events item, no link, headlined:

 

Four White House staffers resign following violence at US Capitol

 

Four White House officials have handed in their resignations after a pro-Trump mob stormed the US Capitol in Washington, DC. According to a Bloomberg report, Deputy National Security Adviser Matt Pottinger resigned on Wednesday afternoon. The First Lady's Chief of Staff, Stephanie Grisham, White House Social Secretary Rickie Niceta and Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews all quit on Wednesday as well. In a statement, Matthews said she was "deeply disturbed by what I saw today" and emphasized the importance of "a peaceful transfer of power." Photo via @Reuters

Someone like Matthews is kind of a low level official to be releasing “a statement” given that public relations is her stock in trade. Obviously, she’s looking for another job, and the statement is a bid to prove to the swamp that she’s still hireable and one of them. What a thing to do in the wake of a transition when she ought to be helping the others out instead of thumping out like an elephant and leaving the others to do her work.

Principled? Don’t think so. She was leaving the post anyway. The resignation ‘statement’ is just a lot of grandstanding.

And it’s sad, because many voters are angry about losing their president to election fraud, which is what her ‘statement’ should have been about. That’s the actual reason she’s looking for another job, but fine and dandy to blame Trump voters and the misguided actions of a few, with chaos at the Capitol quite possibly led by Antifa provocateurs, as the big reason instead. She couldn’t even denounce Antifa?

These last minute resignations are forward thinking. They are currying their resumes for future uniparty appointments, lobbying, or consulting.

Principles? They wouldn’t know them if they slapped them upside the head. Simply being complicit in what they know was a fraud.

The political class keeps cementing it’s position as the lowest form of pond scum...next to the CCP controlled media.

They are resigning to take their new jobs with the swamp in DC. Keep track of how many actually go back to their home states and how many remain in DC.

That’s because they like their Democrat “friends” and want to continue to find lucrative work in government.

Cowards. Media whores. Parasites.

The usual suspects.

Boy you both nailed it.

Rudy and Pompeo will be loyal until the end.

That might be it. A few others.

Whether deliberate strategy or byproduct of unfolding events, POTUS has managed to uncover nearly all the moles and pretenders surrounding him.

They’re all exposed.

These people think that things are going to go “back to normal.”

Other than Mulvaney, not one person mentioned has any bearing on a SINGLE SOLITARY THING in the world. They fetch coffee, open doors and pick up the dry cleaning.

They think that this is their pathway to future political aspirations, I’m sure. It sure won’t win my vote if the opportunity ever comes up.

The problem is that the communists have long memories and short attention spans. These people may be put into low level positions in which they think they're safe and secure, but eventually communists purge.

Why wait for Biden to fire them. I’d leave, too.

Nobody is willing to address the following:

Capitol Police opened the gates.

Antifa, using kneepads and false flag Trump gear, broke windows to gain entry.

Known Antifa personalities were key parts of this group.

CNN was tipped off that the breech was going to happen, because the posted in the same minute it happened.

Trump supporters got sucked in and added to the crowd inside.

The violent people inside were young Antifa types.

Very well said, they are absolutely delusional. Nothing is ever going to be the same again.

Already hearing it from liberal family members. It was Trump’s fault. He will become the convenient scapegoat. One even wrote that now everything will be OK. No more COvid, etc..everything is beautiful. I am afraid that the fall will be harder than anyone one thought possible.

But Kayleigh McEnany is still there and, I hope, loyal to the end.
