People Are Officially Done With John Kelly After His ‘Absurd’ Civil War Comments
The White House chief of staff blamed the war on a “lack of compromise.”
By Ed Mazza 10/31/2017 05:14 am ET

John Kelly, chief of staff to President Donald Trump, angered many on Monday when he told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that the Civil War was caused by a “lack of ability to compromise.”

Kelly had been seen by some as a voice of reason in the White House. But his latest comments may have burned up whatever goodwill he had among the president’s critics:

1. It sounded to me like he was threatening our country w/civil war. TREASONOUS

[workinclasszero]

2. Well if his boss is a Russian mole/traitor.....

And he continues to carry water for him...

[awesomerwb1]

3. You could tell he was a soul-less bastard

when he proposed separating parents from minors at the border while he was at DHS.

Just another white supremacist a-hole. Doubt his son died for this shit, but he didn't seem to mind dump politicizing his death.

4. That lying POS needs to go--and take the boss with him. n/t

[Kaleva]

5. My opinion of him has dropped to zero.

13. Thank you for this link

Coates makes the slavery goal of the Confederacy very clear. Many good original sources quoted.

TPM introduced me to Coates yrs ago in a much neater format/organization of the blog.

17. +1

18. Thanks for the link

Kelly has disgraced himself with his defense of slavery and it's champions.

[Iggo]

21. Get him, Ta.

[Paladin]

7. Gratifying to see Kelly flushing his reputation down the toilet. (nt)

[HipChick]

8. He's a racist...period

[LovingA2andMI]

9. FUCK RACIST ASS JOHN KELLY!!!

Yea, We Said It And Have No Plans WHAT-SO-EVER Of EVER Walking It Back!

[Mr. Ected]

10. So much for the idea that a grown-up was standing between Trump and the nuclear football

We're fucked.

[BamaRefugee]

12. John Kelly would have been a fine overseer on a plantation. n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. US Constitution WAS the compromise; 3/5 & all. It did not work! Missouri Compromise failed too!

Constitution needed to be amended! Think 13th, 14th, 15th. The compromise had to be retracted, Mr. Kelly

[Hekate]

20. Spot on, Bernardo

Spot on.

[Ilsa]

15. Roland Martin on MSNBC took Kelly and Ingraham to task

on not knowing their history about slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the long history of the Civil Rights movement.

Also tweeted to Ingraham that he'd be in Cinncinatti later and fox should book him on her show.

19. I saw quite a few interviews w/ Kelly talking about the 'illegals'....and he didn't sound very good

he sounded just like his trashbag boss. I said hmmmmm perhaps that is just a show and theater for the old windbags benefit....but as we see as Mr. Kelly has 'evolved' *cough puke spit* that HE IS JUST LIKE HIS SCUMBAG BOSS.
