President Trump has chosen White House budget director Mick Mulvaney as acting White House chief of staff to replace John Kelly, who’s set to step down in January amid friction with Trump and growing chaos in the White House. Mulvaney’s promotion came as The Daily Beast website obtained a video, recorded in 2016, of then-Congressmember Mick Mulvaney calling Donald Trump “a terrible human being.”

Rep. Mick Mulvaney: “Yes, I’m supporting Donald Trump. I’m doing so as enthusiastically as I can, even the fact I think he’s a terrible human being. But the choice on the other side is just as bad.”

Mulvaney also said Trump had said “disgusting and indefensible” things about women in a 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape, and made similar comments on social media that he later deleted after he joined the Trump administration.
