John Kelly’s credibility is at risk after defending aide accused of domestic violence

Washington Post ^

[DOC44]

After the White House staff secretary was accused of domestic violence by both of his ex-wives, Kelly publicly defended Porter as “a man of true integrity and honor,” adding, “I can’t say enough good things about him.” Privately, Kelly reportedly urged him to stay in his job. Kelly’s actions left his critics — as well as some West Wing subordinates — questioning how much credibility he has left.

FOX just had a snowflake and an Hispanic discussing how Kelly had to go. I am tired of the credibility given to accusations about things that happened years ago by people who really don't like the accused for many reasons. Grow a pair and stand up and say prove it.

What about the credibility of all the women who defended BJ Clintoon during the Lewinsky matter?

The LSM is YUGELY guilt of “Domestic” abuse....

The LSM is YUGELY guilty of “Domestic” abuse....

And that’s just the Fake News. Then there is the abuse by omission.

Kelly needs to stay. Trump is the decider, not the media.

[chris37]

No, it’s not, and I’m not even a particular fan of Kelly.

Strangely...men are no longer innocent until proven guilty. Any women at any time can accuse any man of abuse, even forty years later and she must be believed!!1

Porter was accused of domestic abuse.

He wasn’t arrested or charged with a crime.

By the Left’s Clinton standards, his wrong-doing is no one else’s business.

Gotta love how their standards change when a Republican President is in the picture.

I know Mitt Romney’s niece Ronna Mcdaniel is supposedly doing a good job leading the GOP fundraising or whatever, but Rob Porter’s Mormon ties are also what I find disconcerting...

to have any significant amount of Mormons in the inner circle period...

” disconcerting...

agree

I listened to the 2nd wife. Apparently the were screaming at each other (she said). He left, slammed the door and broke the window in the process.

So she called the police and got an order of protection.

There are plenty of wives who are abusive...

Trump, himself pointed out that we used to have Due Process.

Just watch a few episodes of Snapped. Some of them are worse than abusive.

The key word in this issue was “accusation”.

[Cowboy Bob]

Soon, lawyers won’t be allowed to defend someone accused of domestic violence.

[proust]

If Kelly liked him, I’m glad he’s gone.

[bigbob]

Porter says he’s innnocent. We used to have a thing called “innocent until proven guilty” in this country, way back before any vagina-equipped person could condemn a man by mere allegation.

That’s a good one The Washington Post saying somebody else’s credibility is at risk.
