Mark Green withdraws his nomination for Army secretary
CNN ^ | May 5, 2017 | Andrew Kaczynski

Posted on 05/05/2017 2:01:52 PM PDT by Lurking Libertarian

President Donald Trump's choice for Army secretary announced Friday that he is withdrawing his name from consideration.

"It is with deep regret today I am withdrawing my nomination to be the Secretary of the Army," Mark Green said in a statement. On Tuesday, CNN reported that the nomination was in serious jeopardy, and he could be withdrawing as soon as this week, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN. The decision by Green, Trump's second pick for the post, came after his nomination ran into trouble following a backlash after past controversial statements on LGBT issues, Islam and evolution were revealed. Both the White House and Pentagon had told reporters earlier Friday there was nothing to announce regarding Green's nomination.

mccain’s not the president.

I like Trump a lot but the buck stops with him.

Not like conservatives to be throwing blame around like I’ve seen here lately.

Trump has to man up more.

Gee, maybe he was asked to withdraw and those around him actually refused to fight his nomination.

What will it take to get rid of these two? They both survived two primaries against credible opponents after becoming the leaders of the pro-Amnesty Republicans.

Green is a Nightstalker.

Those jerks should be bowing and thanking him for where he’s been and what he’s done.

Well the nominees have to have a spine too. Clarence Thomas comes to mind

“Wasn’t Trump going to slay PCness?”

Oh will you idiots knock it off! I swear you little caucus of snark-asses as as obnoxious as SJWs.

You want Trump to hold a gun to this man’s head to make him not withdraw? Should he just deem him confirmed?

He’s been in office 100 damn days...Sorry if he cant make 4 years of results happen at the speed to satisfy people that had 25 years and managed to fail every step of the way.

“Trump has to man up more.”

Yeah, he needs to be like a dictator...and junk.

“man up more” like what the hell is that beyond a platitude?

These are your Reps and Senators, maybe people on FR need to “man up” and start controlling these people they sent to D.C. instead of hiding out in the corner and expecting Trump to just force them on their behalf.

He talked a very tough game while running.

I’m sorry I’m expecting him to match up to it.

I guess you’re afraid for him to.

I’m confused why people here are blaming Trump for this. Green himself chose to withdraw. Trump can’t MAKE him. It’s not about Trump fighting PC - he does that all the time - it’s GREEN’S choice to man up or not. So, obviously, he couldn’t.

Really, it’s all scheduled. Big strong fight in the future. Just not right now.

My God, how many times have we heard that since 2010 when the Grand Ole Party retook the House from Piglosi?
