She needs to show some real leadership and fire her Chief of Staff. Ad-hominem attacks are the lowest of logical fallacies, and it displays to the whole world this guy can’t see beyond the color of his own skin.

People like that on her staff are a liability, unless she agrees. If she does, then she owns the statement, too.
