    Rob Porter's ex-wife tells me he constantly choked her, threw her on the bed and put his body weight on her using a limb, and in 2005, punched her face. Says she didn't realize how bad the situation was until a counselor told her this was not OK. http://www.cnn.com/2018/02/07/politics/rob-porter-ex-wives-white-house/index.html … pic.twitter.com/x6kLYq1pg7

        So did you realize YOU hadn't tweeted about Porter and realized you looked like an asshole for attacking Gillibrand? Of course not, that would take self-awareness.

        Porter was fired. Beyond this, the situation is closed. It is not the job of the employer to police relationships nor act as the law on these matters.

        Look at the photos of Rob Porter. North of 6 ft. I'd say about 6'2' and about 240 lbs. He's bigger than Donald Trump. Imagine someone that big pinning you to the bed... and you get an idea of what these women were dealing with.

        Run, Hope Hicks, run!! You're better than this. Thanks to the brave women who came forward. Like a sick soap opera, with Kelly, Porter, and Hicks, and tonight, another has stepped down. We only hire the best people, right? I'm here, couldn't do any worse.

        Tragic that any man or woman should abuse their spouse or child. Family is about love and support.

        But this administration still thinks he is a great guy and should have fought. This so undignified, beyond basic decency and morality.

        Did Porter put this on his résumé? For this administration, it might have given him an edge.
