WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic leaders are placing the blame on the Trump administration for Ronny Jackson’s withdrawal as nominee for secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York says “the real blame here falls on the administration for once again being sloppy and carless in the vetting process.”
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California says Jackson’s nomination was “just another example of the culture of corruption, cronyism and incompetence of the Trump administration.”
The two leaders are trying to make the case that Jackson wasn’t qualified to run the government’s second-largest agency.
How much can we all contribute for you to stop reposting AP “news” articles?
Just curious but what is wrong with AP articles?
I wouldn’t say it is all AP articles, but 90% of the time when we get a story here that is particularly egregious with its bothsiderist spin or naive credulity towards some Republican talking point you can bet it will be an AP piece.
I haven’t heard a single competent voice say that he had a single qualification to run VA, yet AP is making it sound like Schumer and Pelosi are voices in the wilderness. THAT’S what’s wrong.
Were they blaming the maladministration for Jackson’s withdrawal? I don’t think so. They were blaming tRump and his henchmen for nominating Jackson in the first place.
