Report: Kelly Is Blocking Negative Amnesty Coverage From Trump
Daily Caller ^ | 9/15/17 | ALEX PFEIFFER

Posted on 09/15/2017 8:38:02 AM PDT by Maceman

President Donald Trump’s embrace of amnesty is in part due to White House chief of staff John Kelly blocking negative coverage from the president, according to a Friday report from Axios.

Trump has reversed his stance from the campaign trail and asked Congress last week to “legalize” the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty program that protects roughly 800,000 illegal immigrants. The reaction has been negative from conservative commentators and news outlets.

Trump has paid attention to outlets like Breitbart and The Daily Caller in office, which have been highlighting Trump’s flip-flop, two sources who speak with the president told The Daily Caller. However, a recent report from The New York Times said that Kelly has started to take TheDC and Breitbart stories out of Trump’s pile of media reports.

This is part of Kelly’s new regime in which there is more control over the flow of information to Trump.

Axios’ Friday report noted: “Instead of being able to march into the Oval Office and hand Trump the latest Breitbart headline or printouts of tweets showing how badly his amnesty drive is playing with his fiercest nationalist supporters, aides opposing the decision would now have to go through the Kelly process, which would involve submitting an official, documented, request to meet with the president.”

Your point would be a good one, but Congress would only be involved to let them stay here, not deport them. No Congressional action is needed to deport any of these people.

I suspect he meets with KellyAnne privately at the old post office to get what Kelly’s keeping from him.

Trump never had too much to say about DACA even tho he was questioned on it a few times...

Guess you forgot that he called it blatantly unconstitutional and he would end it.

If you were a parent, how much value would your form of discipline have if, every time your child did something really bad, you just said, "One of these days you're going to get it!"

Please assure me you're not stupid, just ignorant. Who owns bartertown (the media complex)? That is, how many will see the image you posted?

Do you recall this nifty little bit of propaganda? Did you know the photographer took the picture from within the compound? That's right, the "victims" are on the outside.

This is how reality works, not some dumb ass attempt at gaining FR 'gotcha' points. Pathetic.

I agree. If he is able to tweet then he is able to read Twitter and see the web.

I'm glad you availed yourself to publicly outing your own personal butt-hurt. Where's the substantive counter-point? I pointed out your flaw - images have no impact if there isn't distribution.

You're the right's version of a useful idiot. The autistic screeching we hear when confronted with how the meme wars are actually conducted. A narrative is constructed, then reinforced through controlled media.

Your response? Petty tirades. Does it feel good to impotently pound your little fists of fury? LOL

Just pointing out that there is no substance to you argument that these poor young children will be mercilessly punished for something they never did. Take your compassion a little further and give up your wealth instead of insisting that the government steal your neighbors.

Kelly Anne should be WHCOS.

She proved herself in the campaign.
