    Trump praises ex-aide Rob Porter accused of domestic abuse

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43010912

    Oh wow.

    "We wish him well," the president said. "He worked very hard. I found out about it recently and I was surprised by it. But we certainly wish him well. It's obviously a tough time for him. He did a very good job when he was in the White House. And we hope he has a wonderful career, and hopefully he will have a great career ahead of him. But it was very sad when we heard about it, and certainly he's also very sad. Now he also as you probably know, he says he's innocent. And I think you have to remember that. He said very strongly yesterday that he's innocent. So you'll have to talk to him about that. But we absolutely wish him well. Did a very good job while he was at the White House."

    And this is after my thread were the far right told me Kelly and his staff didn't know about the extent of the allegations, making it a non issue (which was a failed argument).

    BUT TRUMP KNOWS ABOUT IT ALL AND STILL MADE THESE REMARKS TODAY! I mean, c'mon he must know of the optics on this. Then again...

    tRUmp is the swamp................he needs the surrounding scum like Porter to hide behind to avoid sticking out. The security clearance is the really big deal since Porter wanted this story to disappear AKA leverage.

    Now you cut that out! Porter said VERY STRONGLY he is innocent.

    When someone says something VERY STRONGLY, they MUST be believed, because they said it VERY STRONGLY!

    This is how it works, people, and I'm saying this VERY STRONGLY.

    So bleeve me!

    Exactly

    Just hilarious to think that he had the dumb rubes chanting "Drain the Swamp" at his campaign rallies...

    Once again, Trump puts more weight into the denials by one man rather than the accusations - and physical evidence - from multiple women.

    They were giving Kelly a pass because he "apparently" didn't know about the pictures and all the information of the allegations.

    What is Trumps excuse?

    EXPECTED.

    Trump is a MISOGYNIST P-Grabber.

    Of course it would be expected that he would support a woman-beater.

    Trump gonna Trump. :smfh:

    Now Kelly states he is willing to resign, what litttle sanity is left in the White House, will be gone. Before he got there, it was messy before, and without him, Trump will be unchained. :)

    Trump without Kelly?

    Where did he say Porter was innocent and the charges false? I don't think it the place of the President of the United States to declare his guilt or innocence. I'm hearing that it was 40 minutes after Kelly saw the photographs the Porter was fired. End of story. By all accounts the Porter the White House knew was a great guy who gave NO indication he had ever struck one of his wives nor appeared to be someone you would imagine would. And these are still allegations and his FBI investigation was ongoing. So slow down a little on the pointing of fingers. We don't know the whole story but he is gone.

    “If Rihanna is dating Chris Brown again then she has a death wish,” Trump wrote. “A beater is always a beater– just watch!”

    Why should he be gone? The FBI has been telling him the investigation into any allegations was ongoing. They presented no evidence other than the allegations from a divorced wife. I am hearing tonight that it was 40 minutes once the photos surfaced and presented to Kelly that Porter was gone. That's pretty decisive in my mind. And it is still allegations as to what actually occurred. We don't know the events leading up to the physical violence other than her side. He should be given a chance to give his side. If he can't then the firing was appropriate. If he presents countervailing evidence the must be weighed.
