Why is that some big deal?



It's just so hard to talk about things in any real terms in this environment.

Of course it's embarrassing to the WH that Porter beat up his ex wife. It's problematic that Kelly defended him, but only to the extent Kelly should have known of the apparent legitimacy of the allegations. It's not a scandal, but it is a bad look.

The thing with Hope is bad because it's the second time she's been connected romantically to a problematic colleague, and here it looks like she's helping defend him out of some personal affection or something.

CNN/the left is going the moral outrage route, which I think is stupid unless Kelly knew the full scope of the conduct.

Some Trump loyalists won't even acknowledge that the WH has had a rocky experience in hiring professionals, even though that much is obvious.

you do realize that a protective order doesn't tell you that right?

I mean he may well have beat her and if he did he's scum. But the protective order doesn't tell you that

You used the phrase apparent legitimacy. Where do you get that phrase from

I am genuinely surprised at how many Americans still don't know about the problem with protective orders in this country

I am hearing that Porter & Hope Hicks were in a fake staged "relationship" in order to fend off all the Trump-Hicks affair rumors. There was no affair with Trump but of course all the libs make up their lies. She is supposed to be dating someone else publicly within the next 2 weeks. Watch.
