Ex-DHS staffer whom Trump said he never heard of shares picture of them together: 'Haven't forgotten

Source: The Hill

The former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) staffer who recently endorsed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden shared a picture of himself giving a thumbs up in the Oval Office with President Trump after Trump claimed he never heard of him.

“Alas, I’ll take the bait. Haven’t forgotten you though!” Miles Taylor wrote on Twitter.

“I guess the only way to prove it is to tell some stories," he added. "Maybe until the election. What do you think?”

...

In a statement to The Hill, a White House official said that "the president takes thousands of photos with individuals he does not know so {Trump's} tweet should not be that surprising."

Your knowledge of him is of no consequence. What matters is that HE KNOWS YOU and WHAT YOU DID.

Secondly ... you take '1000s' of photos posing IN THE OVAL OFFICE ... with people you don't even know ... who stand behind the Resolute Desk, with you also sitting at it?

That seems pretty irresponsible. And also like bullshit.

What? We think he remembers somebody just because he took a picture with him, worked with him for a few years? Give Trump a break. He's not responsible for anything!

Since I generally know how you roll, Mr Stanley ... I tend to think you're saying this ironically.

For some reason the Trump administration appears to have an inexhaustible supply of those.
