John Kelly: No one there who knows how to be chief of staff

Bay News 9 is a Tampa Bay local news outlet, part of the Spectrum Cable offering. It has never been known as being liberal. I can't hear the quote in the accompanying video.





@angie_angers:

I caught up with John Kelly, former White House chief of staff. This is what he had to say about President Trump’s inner circle:

“There’s no one there right now that knows how to be chief of staff,” he said. “No one who’s ever done chief of staff work.” ⁦

"It is tough to look the President of the United States in the eye and say, 'I think you're wrong but let me bring in the kind of people who could help you understand the issue in a broader way.'" Kelly explained. "They don't seem to be there anymore."
