He is a racist. He is a liar who lied about a sitting black Congresswoman, blatantly, publicly and he never apologized. He is just like the President who selected him as chief of staff. He is military brass, yes, but they are not pure and many, like Flynn seek to use their military creeds for corrupt, dishonest purposes. The military and its brass are full of them.
So good riddance to his bigoted, lying ass.

(23,061 posts)Let me add, he's a misogynist as well as a racist. That's the only reason he made it in this destructo administration for 2 years. Only rw sycophantic idiots or russian repgugs work for drumpf, no others allowed. He wants to be free to do any criminal thing he wants, so gets rid of all impediments to that. That is why he's actively trying to destroy the media and Mueller and now he'll be adding Pelosi and House Dems to that list.

(14,898 posts)The other racists in the military and government don't care about his racism and aren't moved by it at all. But his dishonesty and lack of honor embarrasses even some of them.

(4,149 posts)But what about the show in which this piece of shit was a guest? Was the person who called him an "honorable man" challenged on this?

(15,181 posts)you need to step on a lot of people and principles along the way. Maybe if you are a gilded child (McCain) you can skip a few rungs in that brutal ladder.
I've worked with a few top-level brass in the US and can say that they didn't get there by being soft-mannered or getting-along. Many of them were absolutely some of the best people I've met but too many are in for the rank and power.
Kelly didn't come across as the total a-hole like Flynn was (by many accounts.) But he also wasn't considered terribly bright.
Meritocracy is an ideal but probably never a reality.
