Top White House adviser Kellyanne Conway and other President Trump supporters on Saturday backed the president’s decision to make retired Gen. Mike Kelly his new chief of staff. “I think people will think thrice before they try to hurt each other … by using the press,” said Conway, Trump’s campaign manager in the final stretch of his successful 2016 White House bid. Kelly, a retired Marine general, was the Homeland Security secretary before the announced change Friday. Priebus’ departure follows the ousting last week of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who helped Priebus lead the Republican National Committee before they joined the Trump White House. Kelly is considered a battle-hardened commander who would bring a background of military discipline and order to the unsettled White House.
