After the Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen spent a bit of time yesterday attempting to defend the indefensible, I think she lost the chance to resign and preserve her reputation as a decent person.
If she had announced a resignation at that time, she might have preserved what reputation is left.
But read this article where someone who knew her thinks there is still time to preserve what is left of her reputation.
Now many of us see President Trump as the child-abuser in chief. And she as a willing assistant.
