Source: Reince Priebus interview with CNN was a 'big f*ck you' to President Trump

New York Magazine/Mother Jones/HuffPost Contributing Writer Yashar Ali reports that now former WH Chief of Staff Reince Priebus’ decision to give his first interview post shake-up to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer was a “big f*ck you” to President Trump:

One of Trump friends messaged me saying Reince's decision to do his first interview with CNN is a "big fu*ck you" to Trump.

Watch and decide for yourself. It certainly didn’t sound like a “f*ck you* to us, but maybe just the fact that he appeared on CNN was the “f*ck you”?
