rex tillerson, happened so long ago barely remember. donald trump fires people other ways too. keep going. fired by letter. remember, jim comey on the west coast in the spring of 2017 when he was informed by watching television that he had been fired. a letter apparently had been sent to the fbi and he wasn t there to receive it. keep going. got more. but, wait, there s more. fired by jeff sessions. andrew, contributor to cnn. andrew mccabe fired by jeff sessions at the behest of donald trump and i note, let go, i believe, within 24 hours of being eligible to receive his pension after two decades at the fbi. fired by john kelly. i said previous twitter john kelly who fired omarosa. i don t know about quibbling for that and the mooch after his
no, you re not crazy, that was a very, very long 60 seconds. now, where were we? right. there was a time when the super secure room in the white house known as the situation room was a place where presidents did real national security stuff like manage the response of september 11th of monitor the osama bin laden operation. but in the trump administration, the situation room seems more of a kind of catch-all space. it s where john kelly famously fired omarosa, not from the apprentice, from the white house. we re here to talk to you about leaving the white house. it s come to my attention over the last few months that there s been some pretty, in my opinion, significant integrity issues. today, the president used the situation room for another stunt team maneuver, a meeting with congressional leaders, a briefing from dhs designed as a
osama bin laden operation. but in the trump administration, the situation room seems more of a kind of catch-all space. it s where john kelly famously fired omarosa, not from the apprentice, from the white house. we re here to talk to you about leaving the white house. it s come to my attention over the last few months that there s been some pretty, in my opinion, significant integrity issues. today, the president used the situation room for another stunt team maneuver, a meeting with congressional leaders, a briefing from dhs designed as a last-ditch attempt to convince chuck b and nancy that we really need a wall. did not work. senator durbin came out calling it, quote, preposterous and according to bloomberg trump actually said out loud to chuck schumer that he couldn t cave on the shutdown now because, quote, i would look foolish. well, maybe it s a little late to be concerned about that? we were at the bottom of this incredible room. i said, this is the greatest room i v
it kind of fits. she s trying to sale book of course and she s quite ak actress. omarosa is trying to get back at trump, because donald trump let general kelly fire her. general kelly took the job of chief of staff with the understanding that he could fire staffers that he felt weren t productive for the president. sew fired omarosa. this is her effort to get back at general kelly and certainly at president trump. and so it s a performance that s also meant to sell a book. so stay tuned. so then sirlena what omarosa said there, can it be taken at face value? sure, we re all watching the white house and we come here every monday morning and talk about the chaos that we witnessed the week prior. so what she s saying rings true and it s in line with what was in michael wolff s book. it s hilarious sha she s on a
we talked a few months back about a conference i went to in new orleans, the national association of black journalists. and essentially the question that the audience wanted to know from omarosa, because she was there coming to represent the white house is what do you do? what do you actually do in the white house? your title is made up. your position in the white house is essentially made up. we don t see you reaching out to the different constituencies that they say that you re supposed to be working with. i think the criticism of her is fair, it was always unclear why she is there, what she brings to the table it made it a circus that we re watching. we had reality stars in the white house, as staffers and they went right back to reality television upon exiting. because we re living in the upside-down, i think. all right, you guys, i can t tell you how much i look forward to your saturday morning chats, so thank all three of you for being here. she s just doing what trump does e
