Several White House officials and administration officials are abruptly resigning after supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol, at Trumps direction, in an effort to stop lawmakers from certifying President-elect Joe Biden s election win.

Their resignations come two weeks before they wouldnt have a job anyway, since Biden will bring in his own team after Jan 20. So even if its in earnest, and not just to rehabilitate their images before trying to get a new job, their principled stand against Trump inciting violence and undermining democracy doesnt mean much. Theyve stood by him as he has done this for years.

Stephanie Grisham , chief of staff to Melania Trump and former White House press secretary, announced Wednesday that shes out. She didnt bring up the days events but said she was proud to be part of the first ladys mission to help children everywhere & proud of the many accomplishments of this Administration.

Grisham didnt mention that she stayed in her job when Trump was separating children from their families at the border and then lost track of the parents of more than 540 children they took from them.
