Walter Shaub: I'm sick of WH officials leaking that they're ashamed of Trump. THEY'RE ALL COMPLICIT.

Shaub's tweet this morning, reacting to a tweet about an Axios story:





Oh this is ridiculous. I am sick and tired of White House officials anonymously leaking to the press that they are ashamed of Trump, or scared of Trump or somehow keeping Trump in check. THEY ARE ALL COMPLICIT. They could quit. Stop giving them this face saving forum.



The tweet from the CEO of Axios that he's responding to:






Senior White House official: "I’ve never been more ashamed. I’m really honestly disgusted. I’m sick to my stomach. And they’re all celebrating it. They’re very very proud of themselves."

Every effing week there is always a "concerned" staffer and or official - disgusted, ashamed, sick to my stomach drama, and yet nothing is being done.

That would be the most effective. An ambush interview on 60 Minutes. White House having no advanced knowledge of it.

They aren't reining him in, keeping him honest, curbing his wildest impulses--they aren't doing any of those things used as excuses for sticking around. Stop wasting everyone's time by bitching anonymously and just quit.

Honestly, Trump's White House is an Ayn Rand dream come true. A building full of careerists dedicated to serving their own selfish needs first

Knowing the anti American agenda they are pushing

They are just employees of the Whitehouse doing their jobs - bullshit

They crossed that threshold long ago
