Donald Trump’s recently hired campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Friday that Paul Manafort — the previous campaign manager who had been moved to the position of chairman — “was asked” to resign from the campaign. She later added that his abrupt departure “was a mutual decision.”
“He was asked and he indeed tendered his resignation today and Mr. Trump accepted his resignation and wished him well and thanked him for his service,” Conway told WABC Radio’s Rita Cosby, who followed up by asking whether it was Trump’s or Manafort’s decision that he leave.
“I think it was a mutual decision to be frank with you. The conversations which I participated in, it was a mutual and a very mutually respectful decision,” Conway said.
The campaign announced Manafort’s resignation Friday morning, amidst slagging polling for the GOP nominee, as well as increased scrutiny on Manafort’s past work for Ukrainian politicians with Russian-ties.
Why this unseemly dancing on his grave ? Is it that serious with Manafort ?
Walking back the spin on the sarcasm of the stumbling over the words from the earpiece trouble caused by the loser liberal media.
Repeat daily
I think we are only seeing the tippy-top of the Russian iceberg…
Trump cannot stand any toxic taint not emanating from his own unhinged mouth or twitter feed. So, he was asked to resign, ok? It came from Donald. To get the dog feces taint off of Donald Trump’s Cole Hahns so that he could travel to Michigan and step into dog feces up to his neck before the day was over. It was mutual, respectfully mutual. Our New Team is off to such a splendid start.
