Trump berated Hope Hicks for telling Congress she sometimes lies for him -- and that was her final
Source: Raw Story
CNN anchor Erin Burnett reported Friday that Hope Hicks left the White House after being berated by President Donald Trump for being so stupid in admitting to Congress she sometimes tells lies for the president.
Breaking news, White House in turmoil. Hope Hicks the White House communications director and perhaps the presidents closest confidante gone, abruptly resigning, just a day after admitting shes told lies for the president, Burnet explained. Just to give you an idea how vital Hicks is to the president. One of the presidents close allies telling me tonight, quote, she was his last emotional crutch thats how crucial she is.
That source telling me Hicks departure was sudden, Burnett continued. The source saying Trump berated Hicks after her testimony to Congress yesterday, you know, the nine hours in which she admitted to telling lies on behalf of the president.
According to the source, Trump asked Hicks after the testimony, how she could she be so stupid, Burnett continued. And apparently that was the final straw for Hope Hicks.

(4,033 posts)This is Wednesday. Hicks testified yesterday, which was Tuesday. She announced her departure today. So, how did CNN's Erin Burnette report her being berated by Trump for her testimony on Friday? Last Friday she hadn't testified yet, and next Friday isn't here yet.
So, what the heck?

(33,320 posts)It may be that whoever wrote the rawstory piece needs a break -- continuous bombardment by corruption and scandal can make you forget what day it is, what year it is, and why are those damned birds singing like this is a normal universe and GET OFF MY LAWN!

(22,029 posts)Their writing is frequently poor and the copy editing is non-existent. Additionally, their sourcing and writing often seems like cut-and-paste jobs.
Several months ago, someone on DU commented that the Raw Story website will dump scores if not hundreds of cookies into your system. I've avoided the site ever since.
Hermit-The-Prog
(33,320 posts)I'm very selective about taking cookies from strangers. DU is one of the select few from which I'll accept them. Once set up to manually allow or deny cookies, it's shocking how many sites want to bombard your system with them.
The little box -- "use my choice for all cookies from this site" -- stays checked. That makes the initial bombardment the only one.

(61,694 posts)it is because she's pretty, and like a NY senator, would grant Mueller sexual favors for a deal. That's where trump's mind would go.

Some of the lowest life forms...greedy, corrupt and lacking in ANY ethical standard whatsoever. That goes right up to this slime bucket, Kelly & Co.

Plus, she's "dated" just about every single (and some not single) guy in the Trump administration during the past year. She needs to move on to a different dating site. Here's a little tip for you Hope; don't get your meat where you get your bread. It shouldn't be that difficult for you to find a guy you don't work with.

SergeStorms
(19,192 posts)Why she decided to hitch her wagon to Trump's cavalcade of criminals is beyond me. She would have done very well (and still may) in the private sector, but she decided early on to be part of 'Team Trump', and it's going to haunt her for the rest of her life. When the history books are written about this dark, seedy episode of American history, anyone connected to 'Don-the-Con' will not be judged lightly.
It's her life. She's entitled to screw it up any way she wants.
Hugin
(33,120 posts)Never mind all of that illegal stuff she did in between that somehow didn't rise to the level of quitting.
On the bright side the tea leaves say she's got a dirty Victoria's Secret stashed in the back of her closet that will come out when she's informed quitting a job is not grounds for acquittal.

Sam McGee
(347 posts)When the committee asked Hope this question, did they use the word "lie" or "lay?" After all, she did say she encountered a "little white one" from time to time . . . maybe there was a big misunderstanding.
