Several members of yet another of President Trump’s advisory council have decided to quit, the White House confirmed Tuesday.
A number of those sitting on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC), who were appointed under the previous administration, submitted their resignations on Monday evening, one day before the panel was scheduled to hold its quarterly business meeting.
The panel is tasked with advising the president and the Homeland Security Department on the security of critical U.S. infrastructure and information systems. The council, which was created by former President George W. Bush, can have up to 30 members, who are appointed by the president from the private sector, academia and state and local government.
“We can confirm that a number of members of the NIAC who had been appointed under the previous administration have submitted their resignation,” a White House official said in a statement to The Hill.
“The NIAC met today as planned with the majority of its members, who remain committed to the important work of protecting our Nation’s critical infrastructure.”

Don created an existential crisis for his admin by his inability to simply say, "Nazis are bad people." An issue we firmly settled in 1945.

Yes, there are caveats. Yes, the kook-left is bad too. But if you can't clearly articulate why you don't like Nazis, don't run for POTUS.
