WASHINGTON (AP) — Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is out of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet, the White House said Monday, after multiple allegations of abusing her position’s power, including having an affair with a subordinate and drinking alcohol on the job.

Chavez-DeRemer is the third Trump Cabinet member to leave her post after Trump fired his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in March and ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this month.

In a statement posted on social media, Chavez-DeRemer praised Trump and wrote, “I am proud that we made significant progress in advancing President Trump’s mission to bridge the gap between business and labor and always put the American worker first.”

Unlike other recent Cabinet departures, Chavez-DeRemer’s exit was announced by a White House aide, not by the president on his social media account.

“Another affair? These people need to get right with God.”

A big ask for Satan’s minions.

Right. I don’t know how Trump could have known though. Some of these people can’t handle a little bit of power.

What other affairs? Not to mention she needed to go for pushing mass amnesty.

The headline wants us to believe that she’s leaving because Trump directed her to abuse her powers and she didn’t like it.
