On Thursday night, President-elect Donald Trump announced that he had selected Susie Wiles as his Chief of Staff for his incoming administration, making her the first woman to hold such a role. While one might think that such prominence would only be celebrated, POLITICO has put out some rather interesting posts about Wiles, which they ended up having to delete.
When it comes to a Friday post that has since been deleted, Karoline Leavitt, the National Press Secretary for the Trump-Vance campaign, called out the outlet for how POLITICO “hates Trump so much, they ignore [Wiles’] accomplishments,” even bringing up the idea that she’s an “enemy of democracy,” a common refrain from Democrats against their political opponents. “Absolutely absurd,” Leavitt also noted.
Francis Brennan also shared a screenshot of a post that indeed questioned if Wiles is “a MAGA hero or an enemy of democracy?” He also noted how this stood in stark contrast to a POLITICO post from almost four years ago, with a smiling picture of Symone Sanders, who was at the time going to be on the Communications team for the Biden-Harris White House.
Susie Wiles just shattered a glass ceiling as the first female White House Chief of Staff in history, but @politico hates Trump so much, they ignore her accomplishments and suggest she’s an “enemy of democracy.” Absolutely absurd. https://t.co/AtNc49gD87

After such a post was put out on Friday morning, the outlet later took those down and reposted articles on Wiles, with claims that their post in question did not reflect the accompanying article. […]
For the record: This replaces a deleted tweet to better describe Susie Wiles' government experience.
