Rob Porter is a senior, twice divorced White House policy adviser who has now been accused of spousal abuse by both his ex-wives.
His first wife, Colbie Holderness, provided Ryan Grim of The Intercept of photos of the alleged abuse that occurred during a trip to Italy…
This comes after Porter’s second wife, Jennifer Willoughby told the British Tabloid The Daily Mail that Porter had physically pulled her from the shower, where she had retreated, to continue his verbal abuse during one argument.
I will not link to The Daily Mail article here, but if you wish to read it, Ryan Grim has another tweet.
WJLA, a Sinclair outlet and so another link you may not want to follow, airs Willoughby’s accusation also:
“WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) -- The second wife of President Trump's staff secretary Rob Porter tells The Daily Mail that she was abused by the aide.
Jennifer Willoughby told the online publication that she was "walking on eggshells" due to Porter's explosive anger.
"I can't remember what triggered it. He lashed out and was really angry and both under his breath and explicitly to me called me a f****ng b***h and f***ing ridiculous. He accused me of not caring about him or not caring about his needs," Willoughby said.”
Willoughby also says Porter never displayed anger outside their home but always “behind closed doors”
Porter is now said to be dating Hope Hicks.
Girl can pick ‘em, right?
Predictably W.H. Chief of Staff John Kelly and Sarah Sanders provided despicable quotes:
“Trump's chief of staff John Kelly said Porter "is a man of true integrity and honor and I can’t say enough good things about him. He is a friend, a confidante and a trusted professional. I am proud to serve alongside him."
Press Secretary Sarah Sanders also defended Porter, who is reportedly dating White House advisor Hope Hicks, saying that the aide "is someone of the highest integrity and exemplary character."
Just like The Resident, huh, Sarah?
