In an article on the Atlantic website, a former Obama White House staffer explains why she resigned from the Trump White House after only eight days. Rumana Ahmed thought she should try to stay on the NSC staff during the Trump Administration she writes, in order to give the new president and his aides a more nuanced view of Islam, and of America's Muslim citizens.
But then the executive order suspending visa issuance for Syrian refugees and suspending it temporarily for nationals of seven Muslim majority countries forced her hand. She quit. She had to leave because it was an insult walking into this country's most historic building every day under an administration that is working against and vilifying everything I stand for as an American and as a Muslim.
The basic premise of the story doesn't pass the smell test.
Or to put it another way, the Atlantic piece is disinformation by Bed Rhodes, with whom Rumana Ahmed worked.
