Amanda Carpenter, a former communications director for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), has had enough of the Trump White House:

No matter what the allegations are, I find it shocking that someone can have the ear of the president and be privy to all that is said and done on the Oval Office for over a fucking YEAR and not have a security clearance. If there are not laws in place regarding this, there should be. Clearly John Kelly is okay working with a violent abuser but he should NOT be okay letting someone run around the west wing without a security clearance. We can all see that Kelly hates women...does he hate his country too? I don't care what he says about this. His actions speak volumes.

This woman seems very credible. I hope she's safe because my guess is that Rob is pretty pissed off today. Hope Hicks should steer clear too.

It's all part of their philosophy of cruelty and abuse toward those that they think are weaker than they are.

right there.

Amanda Carpenter couldn't be too exemplary of a person if she "communicated" ted cruz lies.. but at least she's speaking out on this house of trump shite.
