Alexandra Petri: Hope Hicks’ many opportunities

After admitting to the House Intelligence Committee that she was occasionally called upon to tell “white lies” for the president, Hope Hicks has announced that she is leaving the White House. She says these things are not related. She stayed for many Scaramuccis longer than her predecessor. But in the end it got her, too. It always does. She was the Final Girl, hoping against Hope to make it through, but she should never have gone into that House in the first place.

“Hope is outstanding and has done great work for the last three years,” President Trump said, according to The New York Times.
