Ruben Gallego: John Kelly ‘Should Resign’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BLITZER: "Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, interim or temporary security clearance. Still doesn’t have the full permanent security clearance even though he’s working on very sensitive issues in the middle East and elsewhere. What message, congressman, is the White House sending with its response to these domestic violence allegations against the now former White House staff secretary rob porter?
GALLEGO: "I think at this point we should all really not be surprised about the response from the White House. You have a president who has been accused by multiple women, I think we’re in the teens, of sexual assault. You have a president that was recorded on TV essentially saying that grabs women by their genitals and you know if we have any idea whether this man respects women or not, I think that has been answered with many times. I think at the end of the day the most important piece that a lot of us have to ask is where is John Kelly. How did John Kelly allow this to happen? And to continue to live in denial that John Kelly is not complicit in everything that happened really shows that the president doesn’t actually care. The president should hold John Kelly responsible for all of this.
BLITZER: "Should Kelly resign?"
GALLEGO: "Kelly should resign. Kelly should have resigned for many other reason. But the fact that the president hasn’t forced them to resign considering that he not only was complicit but, you know, even lied about the occurrence of sequence of events after he discovered what the information really tells you that John Kelly has lost all integrity and should step down."
