people in the government. even the civil servants, set aside who they were appointed by. they just don t trust them. but they just need to show a little more responsibility, right, of saying we don t trust this. i think that s not the right call. but step aside while we figure it out. go ahead, jason. very important point, i wasn t disparaging ms. yates, but if they re a political appointee from a previous administration, and they re from a community that s been highly critical of the president, i do think they have to do their due diligence and go through it. they can t just take it at face value and throw somebody out. so it s more indicative, the fact that there are these deep state folks who have out to get the president i did not say there were deep state people out to get the president. i said the president thinks that. but i don t think that s actually necessarily accurate. i want to clear up one point.
house. kirsten powers, you have a different view? i think the thing is, while you re trying to figure it out, you shouldn t have this person listening in. just out of an abundance of caution, you should say, look, we need you to step aside while we look into this and try to gather more information. sort of casting her as this political appointee who has some secret agenda. this wasn t her research. she got this information from people who knew what was going on so she was reporting this to them. i think the idea i think you re right. what you said, jason just hit on it is that donald trump and the people around him don t trust the people in the government. even the civil servants, set aside who they were appointed by. they just don t trust them. but i think if they re going to decide that s how they re going to handle it, they need to show a little more responsibility, right, of saying we don t trust this. i think that s not the right call. but step aside while we figure it out.
