Sarah Sanders on John Kelly’s Exit: Trump Wants a Chief of Staff Who ‘Believes in What We’re Doing’

‘I don’t think there’s been a question whether or not General Kelly supported the president’s policies’

EXCERPT:

HUCKABEE SANDERS: "I don’t think it’s fair to say he didn’t find what he was looking for, particularly in General Kelly. I think they’ve had incredibly good relationship. General Kelly has been there for a year and a half. He served our country admirably, not just in the Administration, both as the Department of Homeland Secretary, but also as the President’s Chief of Staff. But also 40-plus years, as a Marine General, and he is a great American and somebody that all of us in the Administration have a great deal of respect and admiration for. And we’re very thankful for his service. I think he brought a lot of structure to the White House that was needed at the time he came in. And has certainly, I think, been an incredible addition to the White House. That being said, I think the President is looking for somebody that believes in what we’re doing and believes in the policies that we spend every single day, all day, working to enact and working to implement and looking for somebody who can lead his team a this point over the next two years as we move into 2020 and certainly into a much more political environment that we anticipate going into, as a presidential election year."
