Security at risk. Think about that (in addition just shrugging it off as sour grapes). --The Trump WH put their loyality

And he pivoted to the Muslim ban- repeatedly calling it "lawful" and implying she was wrong. He'd been asked to clarify what rumours were about Yates being partisan. He really did not answer.

This is going to have a major impact on all Rethugs. Try to justify this statement by any Republican Congress person or Senator,will bite them in the ass big time.

women who won't kiss his a$$--whether all tits and a$$ like his wife-- or unattractive like
Kellyanne but willing to show off the merchandise kneeling on a sofa in the Oval Office. He's even sexualized
