Hope Hicks to Resign as White House Communications Director
NYT ^ | February 28, 2018 | Maggie Haberman

Posted on 02/28/2018 1:54:43 PM PST by Pinkbell

Hope Hicks, the White House communications director and one of President Trump’s longest-serving advisers, said Wednesday that she was resigning.

Ms. Hicks, 29, a former model who joined Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign without any experience in politics, became known as one of the few aides who understood his personality and style and could challenge the president to change his views.

Ms. Hicks had been considering leaving for several months. She told colleagues that she had accomplished what she felt she could with a job that made her one of the most powerful people in Washington, and that there would never be a perfect moment to leave, according to White House aides.

Her resignation came a day after she testified for eight hours before the House Intelligence Committee, telling the panel that in her job, she had occasionally been required to tell white lies but had never lied about anything connected to the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

She did not say what her next job would be, and her departure date was unclear, but it is likely to be in the next few weeks.

Ms. Hicks said that she had “no words” to express her gratitude to the president, who responded with his own statement.

Amazing. She “resigns” the day after she embarrasses the president with the ‘white lies’ comment and nobody can see why.

Has Trump ever mentioned the dereliction of duty by the FBI, the sheriff, or the school board?

Enforce the background check laws already on the books before they create new one.

Like immigration law; if you can’t or won’t enforce the laws already on the books, be seen doing SOMETHING by passing new immigration laws. Passing laws is much easier than enforcing them.

Hicks is smart to go now. The Deep State and the ‘Rats aim to impeach the President and with Trump wobbling on the 2nd the GOP will lose the House and Senate virtually guaranteeing it.
‘’’
Woosie.

“She is so beautiful.

Just notating.”

That’s the problem, she’s too distracting, especially her hair.

Miss Hicks, if you are lurking...

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your loyalty, and hard work in MAGA.

I just hope you end up at the RNC / with Brad Pascal to drag many of our GOP laggards across the finish line, that need all the help they can get to win in 18'. I am sure we haven't seen the last of you!

Why is that every public female figure, particularly in media, has at some point had to appear in a bikini or lingerie?

There you go again, picking on Barney Fag, Lee-Jackass, and Mad Max Waters.

Yeah, she said that, but I imagine that that’s not abnormal in a White House. Some things can’t be revealed.

Don’t quite understand why she is leaving

When your communications director becomes the news, you need a new communications director that won't be.

Adam Schiff lies every day all day and she resigns for a little white lie?

WTF is wrong with DC?

Fox should replace Dana Perino with Hope. Hope is smarter, more accomplished and much better looking.

For anyone who has not been in the DC Jungle..., I can assure you that you either leave after your tolerance is exhausted OR just become part of the problem! Sorta like staying ahead of the swampblog or being assimilated!
