Sen. John Thune (R-SD) signaled Wednesday that Republicans are ready to cut prospective Federal Reserve Board pick Stephen Moore loose, saying that his fate would be known by the end of the week.
“I think there will be probably some more information about that nomination in the next day or so,” Thune told the Washington Post. “I think he’s gotten enough feedback from the people up here that his nomination is in trouble.”
For some Republicans, like Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), it was Moore’s sexist writings about women that was the last straw.
“I sure would like to see him just withdraw,” she told the Post.
Moore’s undoing has been a long time coming: here’s a deep dive into the rise and fall of Trump’s second Fed pick likely to be axed in just a matter of weeks.
“looking dim”, yeah, that fits…
His chances are dim which is fitting since he’s a dim sum of a man.
So this is how Republicans vet their candidates? They announce a name see what others have dug up on him and then decide if what he’s done in past will hurt them in the future? Such a lazy shoddy practice.
Folks, meet the iconic feminist senator Joni Ernst!
Ok. The great Senate Republican heroes are giving up the fiction that Trump sycophant Steven Moore was in any way qualified to be on the Federal Reserve Board. Yet, the very same Republican Senate Majority is still solidly behind Chairman Lindsey Graham, the Devin Nunes of Joe McCarthys, in ending the Senate Judiciary Hearings without hearing from Mueller, and standing behind the increasingly laughable conclusions of the clearly corrupt, lying, contemptuous of Oversight, lazy, shoddy, neglectful Attorney General William Barr.
I have to wonder with Trump’s style of attack, attack, attack how he viewed Barr’s elliptical performance yesterday?
