Marco Rubio defends Susie Wiles
Marco Rubio slammed Vanity Fair for releasing a sensational profile on White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, in which she provided stunning evaluations of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet and his policies.
In a statement on the social media platform X, Rubio aligned himself with other White House officials supporting Wiles, while alleging that Vanity Fair writer Chris Whipple misrepresented quotes and utilized images that were “deliberately manipulated.”
“It is obvious to most people that Vanity Fair deliberately manipulated pictures and reported statements without context to try and make the WH team look bad,” Rubio continued.
Calling her the most loyal and committed to Trump’s mission, he asserted: “She is one of the main reasons why we have a team that works together to carry out the President’s promises to the American people.”
Speaking to the outlet, Wiles stated that her boss Trump is having “an alcoholic’s personality,” a characterisation with which the POTUS said he did not disagree.
