(Washington, D.C.) Today, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Ranking Member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, released the following statement on the reported nomination of Andrew Puzder for Secretary of Labor.
With the nomination of Andrew Puzder, President-elect Trump has sent another clear signal that he has no intention of fulfilling his campaign promise to put workers and retirees firstinstead, hes bent on building an Administration made up of billionaires and the staunchest allies for big business, special interests, and Wall Street that he can find.
The Department of Labor has significant and broad reachfrom workers and labor rights to health and safety, workplace harassment, workforce investments, disability resources, pensions plans and so much moreso I am eager to meet Mr. Puzder to discuss in detail his plans and vision for the agency. At the outset, I am deeply concerned by Mr. Puzders record of standing in the way of progress on issues that would make an immediate difference in the lives of working families, in particular raising the minimum wage and ensuring equal pay for equal work. And I have serious questions about whether a CEO who is comfortable reinforcing harmful stereotypes about women and who is so dismissive of workplace discrimination issues can be trusted to uphold core missions of the Department.
I am also alarmed by Mr. Puzders vocal support for eliminating the new overtime rule and other basic protections the current Department has worked to finalize. If President-elect Trump truly wants to stand up for workers and retirees, he and Mr. Puzder will commit to ensuring these protections are fully implemented.
Working families in my home state of Washington and across the country are looking for strong leadership for the Department and someone who is going to be on their sideand not just for those already at the top. So I will work tirelessly to make sure their voices and priorities are heard loud and clear as part of a rigorous vetting and hearing process for Mr. Puzder.

Hey Patty, STFU fat bitch, we ain ‘t RINO Ryan,
So, Patty cakes, tell us how you’ve had to meet a payroll during your illustrious career.
With Box-o-Rocks retiring, Patty Murray becomes the dimmest bulb in the Senate.
Patty Murray is the more stupid version of Barbara Boxer.
Those are some mighty big words for somebody who usually writes with crayons.
Sure looks that way.
This is Patty “I-have-done-nothing-during-my-decades-in-the-Senate” Murray. She has no clue about anything. Sadly, I live in the town where she grew up... :( :( :(
“So I will work tirelessly to make sure their voices and priorities are heard loud and clear as part of a rigorous vetting and hearing process for Mr. Puzder.
Yeah, right, Patty, right.
Oct 9, 2010 - Democrat Senator Patty Murray, was said to be the stupidest person in Washington D.C.
Winning is fun.

Another great recommendation from a lib. for one of PRESIDENT Trump’s nominees. Before I decide on whether I like one of his picks, I always look for comments like this from the really virulent libs.
“Is there anybody brighter than bronco bama?”
Nearly everyone!
Patty Murray is second from the bottom in the intelligence pool of US Senators, just above Maria Cantwell, her Comrade from Washington State.
I saw an interview with WA states Atty General, she was actually crying when asked about Trump for President. She cried “I have a daughter” when asked if she was supporting her parties nominee. Washington state, where Marx and Lenin never go out of style.
Yes I did. We got the way we are from them.

She’s a leading member of HELP? She needs HELP!! She’s mentally unstable...
I think she got company in the dumbest Senator category: I’ll nominate 4...Chris Murphy, Richard ‘Let’s sue Boston College and the ACC’ Bloomingidiot (both from CT), Diane Feinstein (CA) and Liz (if she drives a Jeep Cherokee, that’s as close to a Cherokee she gets) Warren (MA).
Good answer. But it probably offended somebody. Lol.
More like the Talibans? This lady makes Hank ‘Guam Flipping Over’ Johnson looks like a Rhodes Scholar. Excuse me, but if we were more like the Talibans, you wouldn’t be in the Senate, then again, with somebody else in the Senate from the People’s Republic of Seattle, be would be as nutty as you. When will Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon combine to form the state of Cascade.
