Republican operative Kevin Kellems has quit Donald Trump's campaign just two weeks into the job.

"While brief, it has been an interesting experience, and am proud of the contributions made through our early-phase project endeavors," Kellems said a note to staff, Politico reported.

Trump brought Kellems on board to oversee the network of supporters who go out and defend Trump in the press. The New York Times reported that he was hired June 20.

Kellems has worked for a number of GOP heavyweights, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Vice President Dick Cheney and perhaps most famously, former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz.

One of the most memorable scenes from Michael Moore’s 2004 documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” featured Kellems. Wolfowitz, getting ready for a media appearance, sucks on his comb and then runs it through his hair. Kellems then licks his own hand and runs it through Wolfowitz's hair, as well.

Editor's note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims -- 1.6 billion members of an entire religion -- from entering the U.S.
