Ex-GOP aide: Trump White House protects abusers

A former top aide to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) accused President Trump's White House of protecting abusers Thursday after former staff secretary Rob Porter resigned over domestic abuse allegations.

"The bottom line of this is that they protected an abuser," Amanda Carpenter said on CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper." "And guess what is a job qualification to work in this White House? It's to protect someone who talked favorably about sexual assault on the 'Access Hollywood' tape."

"There is a pattern of behavior," Carpenter continued. "They kept Corey Lewandowski on staff as a campaign manager after he bruised a reporter. This is the same president who laughed along with Howard Stern as he says disgusting things about his daughter. ... They protect abusers; there's no way of getting around it."

"If you tolerate people who do this to the people they save they love, what will they do to the people they don't know?"
