Vice President-elect Mike Pence reportedly ordered the removal of all lobbyists from president-elect Donald Trump’s transition team, The Wall Street Journal wrote on Tuesday night.

The decision was one of Pence’s first since formally taking over the team’s lead role. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was abruptly dismissed from the post last week.

Someone tell Fauxcahontas, she was just whining how the transition team was overrun with lobbyists.

Also worth noting that all of Krispy Kreme's people have reportedly been thrown out. No gun-grabbers here.

It’s funny that this won’t show up on Fox or CNN or MSDNC. Seriously, they don’t even TRY to inform the people of what’s actually happening. It’s shameful

Christie is a talented guy, but has apparently made too many ethical compromises in the past, for him to be trustworthy. Was there a `final straw` that caused Trump to distance himself from Christie?

Don’t buy the Christie story, it’s MSM BS. Trump said during the primaries that he would lean on his VP to get his vision implemented so it only makes sense that he’s going to be the guy to deal with things at this point. Christie said Trump told him deal with this and don’t mention it to me until after the election and that’s what he did.

Ok, then Fox gets a pass (probably Hannity; he’s done well this year)

I think you get my point though. The media is too busy talking about how the transition team is in shambles. They are shameful!

I am not an insider. But this sounds like a good idea.

Start fresh.

Give credit where it's due.

Blodget and BI are part of the same media swamp, but at least they're reporting it.

I’m with you. I wish we could get rid of all lobbyists. When they came on the scene, Washington DC changed.

NYTimes reports the firing of lobbyists as Trump team being “in disarray “.

(Any questions as to why the American people are sick of the media and their flat lies.)

MSM sure stretched that story out. Between the MSM non-stop lies and the Trophy Brats my stress level has not dropped much yet.

Sure like the new team TrumPence is putting together.

So what’s going to happen to Giuliani, Flynn, and Bolton? Cause they’re all lobbyists.
