Former Trump chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says the quiet part out loud while reacting to Trump’s racist Truth Social post depicting the Obamas as apes.
Mulvaney made an appearance on this Friday’s Connell Mcshane on NewsNation and was asked about the White House’s original ridiculous spin that it was supposedly a staffer that posted the video and not Trump himself, and Mulvaney threw cold water on that notion before stating the obvious on what this will mean for the midterm elections:
MCSHANE: The only one question, Mick, that I was thinking about that I wanted to ask you about this, and it’s kind of a practical one from your time as chief of staff. We used to hear that the president himself handled his social media posts like late at night and early in the morning.
Were you ever aware of a time when a staffer would have access to or be posting from the president’s account, again, late at night or early in morning?
MULVANEY: Not at late at night. Typically there’d be one other staffer, Dan Scavino, who very often posted on the president’s X account. I understand there’s one other staffer now in this second administration, Natalie, somebody, who I don’t know as well, who also might have access to his account.
