The combative White House chief of staff erupted in an expletive-ridden rant and nearly got into a fistfight after President Trump invited an immigration hawk to the Oval Office whom Kelly had butted heads with while at the Department of Homeland Security, according to Bob Woodwards new book.
I cant believe youd let some f--king guy like this into the Oval Office, Kelly shouted at Trump after strolling into the historic room in November 2017 to find Chris Crane, the head of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement union, according to Woodwards forthcoming book, Fear: Trump in the White House,.
After speaking his mind to Crane, Kelly threatened to resign and stormed out of the Oval Office, according to Woodward. Woodward writes Trump later told aides he thought Kelly and Crane were going to get into a fistfight.
Before becoming Trumps chief of staff, Kelly served as the secretary of Homeland Security, a role that involves overseeing ICE and other agencies. Crane clashed with Kelly after Kelly blocked ICE from executing a hard-line crackdown on certain immigration violations.

He's got "incoming" now from all directions 24/7.
Omarosa will be on 'The View' on Monday with more tapes. Stormy (with Avanatti by her side) is going to make a major announcement.
His CFO is going to spill his guts. His "fixer" Cohen is too.
BRING IT!

Here's the link: "Crane clashed with Kelly after he blocked ICE from executing a hard-line crackdown on certain immigration violations.
Let's see: CRANE was "head of the ICE *union*" - the union being hard line wingnut, so they can be likely to support a "hard-line crackdown on certain immigration violations." So KELLY blocked the crackdown? Hmmm.

(959 posts)Dump found out about the conflict and wanted to pit the two together. Dump has that old cockfight mentality; he loves pitting people against each other for a knock down drag out. It's entertainment for him. He's a real sick guy.
