Larry Kudlow knows him – see tweet below
"The White House, which asked CNN to hold off on the story for several days last week declined to say when Beattie left the White House. Beattie's email address at the White House, which worked until late Friday evening, was no longer active by Saturday." https://t.co/zIbPDnrTXB

Based on my reporting today, there is a mix of reactions inside West Wing & Trump circle. Some close to POTUS said Beattie had to go as CNN made an inquiry or else risk white nationalist headlines. Others tell me Beattie didn't deserve to be let go simply b/c he was on a panel.

No surprise here. Trump's speeches sound like white nationalist shit because they were written by a white nationalist. https://t.co/oQTtUUWltR

“Kudlow said Tuesday that Brimelow was an invited guest to his birthday party at his Connecticut home and has been someone he has known ‘forever.’” https://t.co/sHQoA7S9Ft
