The Campbell Soup VP who tweeted that Soros assisted the caravan has been ousted.

The Campbell Soup lobbyist who said George Soros' foundation was assisting a caravan of migrants bound for the United States is no longer with the company.

Kelly Johnston, formerly Campbell's vice president of government affairs, tweeted on Monday that the Open Society Foundations arranged for "troop carriers" and "rail cars" to support the caravan, which formed earlier this month in Central America. Johnston has since deleted his Twitter account.

Campbell and Johnston had discussed his leaving over the summer, the company said on Saturday. Johnston was scheduled to leave in November, but the tweet sped up his exit.

The article makes it sound like they were pushing him out, and I think he may have pulled this stunt to get back at them. He does not seem very nice. Probably a good candidate for the WH team... in some position... maybe pants steamer?

Scaramucci...who, BTW, is now criticizing the Trump team. I guess he didn't get what he thought he'd get from affiliation w/Trump, or he sees where things are going.

I'm not sure of the timeline. But yeah, it looks that way. The tweet on Monday, then all hell breaks lose with bombs and a mass shooting. Then they fire her.

I guess that's the way it is, when you're an exec instead of a guy in the mailroom. Is she going to get a bonus on her way out?
