Maxine Waters slam dunks Donald Trump and John Kelly

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Yesterday, in a development that nearly got buried in all of Donald Trump’s criminal chaos, we learned that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly is preparing to resign. We also learned yesterday, interestingly enough, that John Kelly has sold out Trump to Special Counsel Robert Mueller when it comes to the obstruction of justice investigation. That’s a big deal. But there’s another part of the Kelly debacle that’s also very important.

You see, John Kelly is a racist. When Kelly was Donald Trump’s Homeland Security Director, we saw him carry out his job in institutionally racist fashion against immigrants and minorities. Then, after he took over running Trump’s White House, Kelly reminded us that he’s also racist on a personal level.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters took a moment on Twitter to remind us of this: “John Kelly is one of a long list of failed & incompetent Trump appointees that served in a dysfunctional White House. Kelly leaves with a cloud over his head because of the lie that he told on Congresswoman Frederica Wilson. He refused to apologize. Leaves WH in disgrace.”

Even though Donald Trump will probably find a way to replace John Kelly with someone even worse, Kelly should never have had the job to begin with. It’s a great thing that he’s sold out Trump on obstruction of justice, which should help bring about Trump’s ouster sooner. But it’s also a great thing that John Kelly, unabashed racist, will no longer be in the White House.
