Trump's Fed pick Stephen Moore withdraws candidacy

Moore came under intense scrutiny last week for his past writings on women, including several opinion pieces published on the website of the conservative National Review magazine in 2001, 2002 and 2003 in which he wrote that women should be banned from refereeing, announcing or bartending at men’s college basketball games. And in 2014, in a column he penned for National Review, Moore criticized a gender pay equality proposal from a Democratic senator, calling it a “laughably bad idea.”

“The crisis in America today isn’t about women’s wages; it’s about men’s wages,” he wrote. “Men are still the chief breadwinners in most families, and their wages are not moving much at all.”

He also apologized this week for a joke he made about in 2016 about the Obamas leaving the White House.

Shortly after Trump's November election, Moore said: “There’s that great cartoon going along, that New York Times headline: ‘First thing Donald Trump does as president is kick a black family out of public housing.’ And it has Obama leaving the White House. I mean, I just love that one.”

“I shouldn’t have said it,” Moore said Tuesday on PBS’s “Firing Line with Margaret Hoover.”

The left is winning the social war.

Now, any past offense, regardless of how small, is enough to disqualify any Republican / conservative.

Any offense, no matter when, where, or how large, will be excused if the person has their mind right, e.g. is a communist.

The only thing not true about that statement is that the ObaMao family is not really black. Barack, himself, is 50% white, 12.5 to 37.5% Arab and the remainder black. His Daddy's tribe built their wealth by trading in black slaves.

Sharpton can call Greeks homos and a black mayor the n word and the Dem party candidates flock to do lunch with him. But Moore says a black family left the Whitehouse and we cannot stand for that!

His own comments about the nomination didn’t really help his cause.

When Trump announced his plan to nominate Moore, the would-be governor told Bloomberg that he didn’t know what the central bank or its board did.

“I’m kind of new to this game, frankly, so I’m going to be on a steep learning curve myself about how the Fed operates, how the Federal Reserve makes its decisions,” he said. “It’s hard for me to say even what my role will be there, assuming I get confirmed.”

Well that was stupid to say out loud and I like the guy. PDJT likes to keep his friends and allies close and Moore is one of those and may have been suggested for the role by Larry Kudlow, who I also like.

The left is outrageous. Two good and qualified candidates attacked to the point of withdrawing
