Kelly says that if he were faced as chief of staff with a proposal to clear protesters for a photo opportunity, he would have recommended against it: “I would argue that the end result of that was predictable.'

, who briefly served Trump as communications director for 11 days until Kelly fired him, in an interview that streamed online. “The separation of powers is very, very, very important. No president ever is a dictator or a king.”

While the president has claimed he fired Mattis, who announced his resignation Dec. 20, 2018, Kelly recounted that Trump did not fire Mattis, again disputing the word of the president, answering simply “no, he did not” while admitting every relationship in the White House deteriorates over time.John Kelly didn’t know I was going to fire James Mattis, nor did he have any knowledge of my asking for a letter of resignation. Why would I tell him, he was not... — Donald J.

He said Trump was often frustrated by the slowness of bureaucracy and frequently did not like the recommendations put forward by Cabinet officials and White House advisers but he said Trump usually followed their advice. “I think we need to look harder at who we elect,” Kelly said. “I think we should look at people that are running for office and put them through the filter: What is their character like? What are their ethics?”he couldn’t imagine Trump fighting the results beyond seeking potential recounts for close tallies in swing states. Kelly touted the founding fathers’ vision for checks and balances and separation of powers - credited the strength of U.S. institutions supported by the constitution.

That was NOT why the crowd was cleared. “In response to DESTRUCTION & FIRES on Sunday nite, Barr & other top officials from agencies responsible for securing White House had PREVIOUSLY planned to secure a wider perimeter around Lafayette Square, a FEDERALLY owned green space.”

John Kelly is still a racist POS. He gets zero points for stating the obvious with 'The Mooch.'

Except it wasn’t for a photo opportunity. The church on the block was set on fire the previous night and leaders wanted it protected. That doesn’t fit your narrative of peaceful protests though. I agree that the photo was dumb but stop lying about what transpired.

🤐

Who cares!

How about putting children in cages, John Kelly?

Good thing that’s not what happened. Park police literally released a memo disputing this so idk why y’all are peddling this

He's not the president so who cares. The boss goes where he wants. We gave him that power. Elections have consequences.

Remember when and all the fake news hated John Kelly? But since realDonaldTrump fired him, they all love him now 😂

But caging kids wasn’t crossing some moral line. Moral compass, broken.
