White House fires its chief usher — the first woman in that job
By Ashley Parker and Krissah Thompson May 5 at 2:17 PM

The White House has fired its chief usher, Angella Reid, the first woman and second African American to hold the position.

When the White House residence staff arrived at work Friday morning, they were told that Reid was no longer employed, according to someone with knowledge of the dismissal. A White House official confirmed that Reid is no longer working at the White House.

“We are very grateful for her service and wish her the very best,” the official said.

Reached by phone, Reid declined to comment, saying only, “I think it’s best if the White House explains.”

EXCLUSIVE: Trump fired White House's first ever female chief usher because she is a devout Hillary loyalist and he wants to replace her with a 'die-hard supporter'

By Dailymail.com Reporter

Published: 17:01 EDT, 5 May 2017  | Updated: 18:29 EDT, 5 May 2017

Angella Reid, hired under Obama as the first black female White House chief usher, has been FIRED from the power position
The president wants her replaced with someone from the Trump Organization who is on Team Trump
'Angella is and was the consummate professional, and she was always respectful to the president,' a White House insider told DailyMail.com, 'but she didn't go above and beyond'
She made no secret of the fact that she expected Hillary would be sitting in the Oval
 Reid was caught off guard by the firing, but she's being given a hefty exit package, says the insider
She was hired in 2011 and was only the second black person to have the job
Reid joined the White House from the Ritz-Carlton hotel chain, where she was general manager of the Pentagon City location
Chief ushers are non-political appointees and typically serve multiple administrations

And?    Sounds like she let her personal politics effect her job performance.

Doesn't sound like she really did anything wrong aside from not being a fan of the Orange Baboon god. I'm sure there are plenty of other people around Trump who have no intent of doing anything more than the job they're paid to do.

Who gives a damn except for the deranged anti Trumps who will argue that any Obama appointee fired is an assault on the Constitution.

Find myself (yes I am a proud #nevertrumper) agreeing with Cannon on this one. I don't give a flying darn about this Hillary puke getting fired.

From the article:
'Angella is and was the consummate professional, and she was always respectful to the president,' a White House insider told DailyMail.com, 'but she didn't go above and beyond'
She made no secret of the fact that she expected Hillary would be sitting in the Oval
 Reid was caught off guard by the firing, but she's being given a hefty exit package, says the insider

No problems with this.

If she was a "devout hillary loyalist" -- and made no bones about that being known -- she probably wasn't the best person suited for the position she held.

A "hefty exit package" is probably more than could be expected from most places that had to let go of a disloyal employee.

Maybe the Clintons will offer her a job.

I think it calls for more dignity and sense of self-worth than he can muster.

Trump fires White House’s first female chief usher
NY Post, May 5, 2017, Bob Fredricks

***
The White House residence staff was told Friday morning that Angella Reid, appointed in 2011 by President Obama, had been canned, without offering an explanation, the Washington Post reported, citing a source.

“We are very grateful for her service and wish her the very best,” a White House official confirmed, declining to provide details.

White House ushers are on duty 24/7, taking care of the first family’s needs and overseeing the staff, including chefs, florists, maids, butlers, chefs, carpenters and other workers who take care of the presidential residence.

The chief usher in particular works closely with the president and his family.

***

The last one to get the boot was Chris Emery, who was canned by Bill and Hillary Clinton in March 1994 in a bout of paranoia after they learned he had spoken on the phone with former first lady Barbara Bush after the Clintons took office.

A spokesman for Hillary Clinton said at the time that she and her hubby were “uncomfortable” with Emery and that he had shown “a lack of discretion” by talking on the phone with the first lady’s predecessor.

.


So, who among us would have kept Angella Reid to work "closely with the President and his family"?

Please.... I'll need a show of hands.
