Have you ever heard the sage advice that you should never get in a spat with the boss's wife?
Enter Deputy National Security Adviser Mira Ricardel, who after a series of run-ins with the First Lady's office, is now being shown the door.
Apparently, the straw that broke the camel's back Ricardel getting upset when First Lady’s team didn’t have room for her on the plane for Africa, and tried to block NSC resources for the trip.
Chief of Staff John Kelly eventually intervened on the First Lady's behalf.
Stephanie Grisham, the First Lady’s communications director, issued a sharply worded statement on Tuesday expressing displeasure.
“It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that she no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House,” Grisham said.
It’s an extraordinary move for the First Lady's office to publicly call for the firing of a National Security Council official.
Ricardel has been on the job since April. So, this was a pretty long tenure for a Trump administration official.
The Washington Post does report that Ricardel has had several clashes with past and current White House officials.
Remember that Melania Trump won’t say anything bad about a man that slept with a woman after she gave birth and paid her 130k to keep quiet about it...— Tony Posnanski (@tonyposnanski) November 13, 2018
But she will fire a woman over seating arrangements on a plane.
*chef’s kiss* Thats a BeBest!
Melania Trump, a former lingerie model, is calling for the firing of the deputy national security adviser.— Denizcan Grimes (@MrFilmkritik) November 13, 2018
She has no credentials, experience, or expertise in national security issues, so what is this nonsense?
