White House officials and admin officials are suddenly resigning in protest of Trump inciting violence and undermining democracy -- 2 weeks before they're out of a job anyway, and after standing by Trump as he's done this for years. huffpost.com/entry/white-ho…
Stephanie Grisham, chief of staff to Melania Trump and former WH press sec, has quit. She says she was proud to be part of Melania's “mission to help children everywhere."
She didn’t mention that she stood by Trump when he was ripping children from their families at the border.

Mick Mulvaney, former WH chief of staff and current envoy to N Ireland, has quit in disgust too.
“I can’t stay here. Not after yesterday."
He's worked for Trump since Feb 2017 — the same year Trump blamed “many sides” for the deadly white supremacist clashes in Charlottesville.

WH deputy press sec Sarah Matthews also just quit. She was “deeply disturbed” by the violence at the Capitol but “honored to serve in the Trump admin."
She didn’t mention Trump’s yearslong record of encouraging hate groups + political violence that preceded yesterday's chaos.

Trump has been inciting violence and trying to destroy our democratic institutions for years. In plain sight.
A principled stand against this now, right before losing their jobs anyway, is a profile in... saving face before applying for a new job? huffpost.com/entry/white-ho…

How is it, you may wonder, that Elaine Chao is suddenly aghast at Trump inciting violence + attacking democracy when...
...he's been doing this for years.
...she's worked for him the entire time.
...She's out of a job in 2 weeks.
Reputation rehab time. huffpost.com/entry/white-ho…
