John Kelly Reportedly Didn't Like Hope Hicks Because 'He Thinks Women Should Be Subservient to Him'

by Joe DePaolo | 9:05 am, March 19th, 2018

John Kelly was no friend of Hope Hicks. That according to Olivia Nuzzi — author of this week’s sprawling New York magazine cover story on Hicks, who recently resigned as White House Communications Director.

According to the report, the White House Chief of Staff blamed Hicks for enabling what he saw as President Donald Trump‘s worst habits.

Nuzzi quoted an unnamed former senior White House official who said the following of the Kelly/Hicks relationship, and Kelly’s views of women overall.

“He was extraordinarily dismissive of her. He would refer to her as ‘the high-schooler.’ He doesn’t like a woman that potentially has some position of power over him. He thinks women should be subservient to him. If you look at his relationship with Ivanka [Trump] or Hope — women who aren’t subservient to him — he has problems with those people.”

The Military Promotion program is not perfect. Occasionally a piece of shit like Kelly will find his way through.

Thank God the fucking prick is "only" the WH Chief of Staff and not commanding troops anymore.

He's a fucking treasonous bastard, who uses the rotting corpse of his own son to advance his political and fascist agenda.

Fuck him sideways.

He's a prick of the highest order, because the media pretends that, because he wears a couple of stars on his collar and lost a son in Afghanistan, he is somehow less "pricky".

He knows that, and milks the ever living fuck out if his service to the country and his dead son.

There is a special place in hell for fuckwads like Kelly...and as a retired military officer, I would gladly tell him exactly that to his fucking Nazi loving face.

He could resign in protest from Donnie Short Fingers criminal, treasonous administration TODAY...and it would not even begin to erase the shitstain on Kelly's reputation.

He will never erase the blot on his integrity, patriotism, honor or dignity.

As it stands now, he'd just better hope and pray that we don't strip his military pension and citizenship from him and send his ass to GITMO to serve out the rest of his miserable life.

I hate that fucking prick with a passion. He's a disgrace to the entire Military Officer ranks.

... but the moniker "high schooler" seems to reference the fact that she had no business being in such a senior position with so little experience or competency.

Don't make up excuses for him. His sexist attitudes are well documented.

like I said, I do not doubt he is sexist. That whole WHite House is a shitshow. There's just a lot to pick on.
