and Kelly's stint has accomplished Trump's purpose; now he's just one more fall guy to dispose of.

what makes some of you think he's not on board with all the racist, sexist, bizarre crap??
He's one of them. He just doesn't have the scandals or the Russia connections.
Please stop trying to normalize this guy.
