Former almost-Federal Reserve Board nominee Stephen Moore explained to radio station WMAL why he would not return to CNN as an analyst: “you go to restaurant and you get salmonella, you don’t go back to that restaurant.”
“They basically begged me to come over from Fox and they begged me to sign a renewal for my contract,” he said. “Then literally, the day after I was announced for the Fed, they turned their knives against me. They were vicious and vile.”
Moore was felled by a combination of scandals, including his own sexist past writings, trouble with the IRS and a joke about evicting “a black family from public housing” when the Obamas left the White House.
Here’s TPM’s deep dive on Moore’s rise and fall.
At least he’s become deeply introspective and is able to recognize that he is responsible for the consequences of his actions.
Republicans really are the snowflakes/victim party.
It’s a terrible craftsman who blames his tools.
They forced me to talk and say stupid shit
Then kept all the recordings
Oh woe is me
Lou Dobbs would never treat me like that
