On Tuesday, White House Communications Director Hope Hicks reportedly admitted to the House Intelligence Committee that she’s told “white lies” for President Donald Trump. On Wednesday, she announced her resignation.
A new report suggests the two developments may not be unrelated.
According to CNN, Trump was furious with the head of his communications shop following her testimony. In a report presented on OutFront with Erin Burnett, the host (citing an unnamed person identified as a Trump ally) said that the president “berated” Hicks following her testimony on Tuesday.
“That source telling me Hicks departure was sudden,” Burnett continued. “The source saying Trump berated Hicks after her testimony to Congress yesterday, you know, the nine hours in which she admitted to telling lies on behalf of the president.”
“According to the source, Trump asked Hicks after the testimony, how she could she be so stupid,” Burnett continued. “And apparently that was the final straw for Hope Hicks.”
It's easy to understand why this would be so upsetting to Trump...
The whole house of cards he has created to hang on to the support of the hardcore Trumpanzees is based on never, ever, EVER admitting to lying, no matter how blatant, flagrant, or self-evidently false the lie is...
No, you double down on lying, triple down, quadruple down, whatever it takes, no matter how ridiculous it makes you look...
The whole "it's all fake news" narrative falls apart if you actually start admitting that you've been lying...
