Trump campaign press secretary Hogan Gidley insisted to Fox News that former campaign manager Brad Parscale’s ouster was not a demotion.
Said Gidley: “Let’s be clear what happened here. The only thing that shifted was Donald Trump simply asked Bill to steer the ship and Brad to man the guns.”
He added: “He’s not demoted. What Brad is focusing on is the digital strategy.”
