Priebus Resigns, Kelly Named New Chief of Staff

After 6 months, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus resigned yesterday. He left just days after the well-publicized squabble with new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci. Trump tweeted that Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly would replace Priebus immediately.

Amidst rumors surfacing about Priebus being a leaker, it’s surprising that this news did not make it to the press within the past 24 hours. Understandably, the White House did not want to make such an announcement during the healthcare debate and vote last night.

Comey out… Spicer out… Scaramucci in… Priebus out… Kelly in… Sessions heavily criticized… That’s a lot of turnover in 6 months… Should the American people be worried?

Sean Spicer, White House Press Secretary, OUT!

Spicer was repeatedly pushed into a defensive position. He was urged by the President to take on the briefing room from day one to defend the Trump administration’s perspective from the coverage of the size of the crowd that attended Trump’s inauguration, to Trump’s tweets and statements that brought him and his staff under scrutiny and criticism.
