In a powerful op-ed, the Washington Post’s Ruth Marcus challenges White House apologists of former staff secretary Rob Porter to “look at the picture” of his ex-wife Colbie Holderness with a black eye. She alleges the bruising was at the hand of her husband. His other ex-wife also alleges that he abused her. The White House had initially rallied around Porter, led by Chief of Staff John Kelly. But as Marcus argues, it’s difficult to support Porter when confronted with the photos.
