President-elect Donald Trump reacted quickly to protests from supporters who believed that he would choose Mike Rogers as director of the FBI.

Trump's long-serving advisor and social media director Dan Scavino delivered an update on the idea on Friday morning on his X account.

'Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI,' he wrote. 'It’s not happening — In his own words, “I have never even given it a thought.” Not happening.'

Rogers, a former FBI agent, congressman, and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, ran unsuccessfully for Senator of Michigan in November but was a rumored contender for the position after he met with the Trump transition team at Mar-a-Lago.

Key MAGA figureheads started protesting the idea after learning that former deputy director of the FBI Andrew McCabe endorsed the idea of Rogers leading the law enforcement agency.

McCabe described Rogers as a “totally reasonable, logical selection” to lead the agency, in an interview on CNN and warned against Trump choosing MAGA loyalist Kash Patel. now “It’s inconceivable to me that an outsider with no experience in the organization, no knowledge of the work and the scope of authority that’s involved there could perform adequately,” McCabe said.

HOORAY President Trump! Mr. Rogers and his wife aren’t very neighborly. He should put on his slippers and retire.

#KashOnly!

The deep state has been trying to gaslight Trump and the voters by pretending there is a groundswell of voter support for Mike Rogers as FBI Director. There wasn't and isn't any support for Rogers except at the never-Trumper GOP and deep state level.

If he picks Rogers this will be the second most failed Trump picks. Sorry Pam is one and then this piece of crap will be number two! This is not what MAGA wantSS…. I hope he reconsiders and does not pick Rogers.
