'Pure North Korea fluffery':WH press secretary labeled a 'sycophant' after calling Trump a 'genius'

By Bob Brigham

The White House on Saturday lashed out at former Chief of Staff John Kelly.

Kelly made news with two harsh criticisms of Trump.

“I said, whatever you do — and we were still in the process of trying to find someone to take my place — I said whatever you do, don’t hire a ‘yes man,’ someone who won’t tell you the truth — don’t do that,” Kelly said. “Because if you do, I believe you will be impeached.”

The retired four-star general also blasted Trump’s “catastrophically bad idea” of abandoning America’s Kurdish allies in Syria.

The White House quickly lashed out at the former Secretary of Homeland Security.

“I worked with John Kelly, and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great President,” press secretary Stephanie Grisham argued.

Conservative commentator Charlie Sykes blasted the White House statement on MSNBC.

“Oh and that Stephanie Grisham quote. I mean, that is a classic,” Sykes said.

“That is pure North Korean fluffery,” he charged.

“That’s got to go in the Sycophant Hall of Fame,” Sykes added.

Towards the end, Reince Priebus became one of the major suck-ups in the room saying, "On behalf of the entire senior staff around you, Mr. President, we thank you for the opportunity and blessing you've given us to serve your agenda and the american people and we're continuing to work very hard every day to accomplish those goals."

She basically called everyone who opposes Trump "human scum" the other day. Not just the Never Trumpers either. Literally everyone who opposes the orange asswipe is "scum".

Where does the Dirtbag-in-Chief find these people?
