One of the highest-ranking Black women in the Trump administration resigns over Trump's response to racial injustice, saying it 'cut sharply against my core values and convictions'

*Mary Elizabeth Taylor resigned from her post as assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs in light of President Donald Trump's response to the rising racial tensions in the US.
*Taylor, one of the highest-ranking Black officials in the Trump administration, submitted her resignation letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, writing that her departure followed the "dictates of my conscience."
*"Moments of upheaval can change you, shift the trajectory of your life, and mold your character," Taylor wrote in the letter, according to The Washington Post. "The President's comments and actions surrounding racial injustice and Black Americans cut sharply against my core values and convictions."
*A lifelong Republican, Taylor had worked for the Trump administration since he took office in January 2017, and she previously worked with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

4. My ass.

No way she worked for a despicable racist like McConnell then suddenly found a conscience because Trump did what he has been doing since she first took the job in his administration. Just another rat jumping ship.

6. Um...so she was fine with his birtherism against Obama?

His full page ad to fry the Central Park 5 didn't bother her either?

His "very fine people" comment about Nazis didn't get to her either?

So what exactly put her out now but not before? If anyone knows, please fill me in.

7. Rats deserting the sinking ship....

She didn’t develop values - when he was high, she was prepared to ride that gravy train.

Now that polls show he (might) probably will lose - she develop some core values and convictions.

Her core values and convictions are as flexible as the back of a jellyfish.
