Shahira Knight, President Donald Trump’s camera-shy but effective legislative affairs director, is considering jumping ship after the prolonged frustration of trying to broker a deal between Trump and Congress on the shutdown, according to a Tuesday Politico report.
The White House denies these rumors.
Knight is considered a relatively competent and moderate voice within the Trump circle, and has come to verbal blows with senior policy adviser Stephen Miller over his hardline immigration tactics.
If she does go, Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney will reportedly try to fill her spot with a more aggressive figure.
Yep that competent “moderate” is what is holding Trump and his administration back. Mick is right, he needs more like Stephen Miller. Energetic stupid people who don’t know how to listen or think, but “impose” their will at every opportunity, and accomplish exactly nothing.
Yep. We don’ want no stinkin’ moderates here.
The Brown Shirts are in charge and Shitler is cool with it.
Can’t get him out fast enough, as far as I am concerned.
This surprises no one. As long as that person doesn’t try to get on newscasts, it’ll be great. Can’t have competition with the boss for clicks and air time.
If she truly is a moderating influence, she obviously is having zero impact on Spanky so why hang around? She may be able to get a job outside this dumpster fire of an administration if she gets out now.
If she does go, Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney will reportedly try to fill her spot with a more aggressive figure.
