  • Okay, of course, can tell us.

  • When did you resign about 10 minutes ago?

  • 10 minutes ago.

  • I just can't in good faith be a part of this anymore.

  • All right, well, Kenneth's past It's past 11 PM There's less than one hour left in Trump's term exactly, and I can't sit idly by and support this kind of behavior for the next 53 minutes.

  • I mean, the fact is, his conduct of late has been unconscionable.

  • All right, well, I agree he provoked his supporters to storm the capital was pretty bad, you know?

  • No, I'm I'm talking about the fact that today he didn't even stop by my office to say goodbye.

  • He's finally crossed the line and I'm done.

  • Didn't say goodbye.

  • What about the dozens of time he's abused?

  • Executive power?

  • Uh huh.

  • What about no last day cake in the conference room, huh?

  • Just stop it.

  • Stop it.

  • You know what?

  • That's it.

  • I hope you never find another job.

  • Yeah, I think I'll land on my feet.

  • I'm sorry.

  • What's with the mustache?

  • Well, you can indict someone you can't find.
