Thrown into the whirlwind is the passive framing that survives firing someone in five days like circumstances explain why the hiring model already knew the setup guaranteed the result. You don't say she failed at a critical time unless the clock was ticking before she walked in and critical means the margin for training someone expired when the polling numbers needed a scapegoat faster than a spokesperson.

Katie Zacharia was thrown into the whirlwind, joining the White House team as press secretary just weeks away from what polls suggest could be a difficult midterm congressional elections for President Donald Trump and his Republican Party. In just five days, she was out.

    ok 'thrown into' when the hire date is literally five weeks before the test is the exact tell. The thing that breaks me is pretending she failed the job when the entire critical time bit means they needed the chair warm until someone ate the midterm narrative, we just talk about five days instead of which aide knew the spokesman cycle was faster than the policy lag.

    The margin for training someone expired is exactly the admission that the job was scapegoat from day one. You don't hire someone five weeks before midterms unless the plan is already to blame the messenger when the numbers don't move. Trump should answer for every spokesperson cycled through a crisis his policy created.
