I’ve been noting members of Trump’s 2.0 Cabinet falling off, and now the Labor Secretary, Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R), is leaving for a private sector job. Much like AG Bondi and DHS‘s Kristi Noem, a cloud is following her around:
Accusations that Chavez-DeRemer had engaged in misconduct, including personal travel during taxpayer-funded trips, surfaced in a complaint filed with the Labor Department’s inspector general that was first reported by the New York Post. The complaint led to the suspension of several top aides and surfaced sexual misconduct allegations against Chavez-DeRemer’s husband, Shawn DeRemer. [WaPo]
I don’t know there’s anything particularly noteworthy concerning Chavez-DeRember’s, or her husband’s, misconduct; it merely throws into sharp relief Trump’s first term claim that he’d be hiring only the best, and, in his estimation, corrupt, law-breaking officials are the best.
If that seems mundane, even unimportant, my reader should take themselves offline for a couple of weeks and examine how they’ve been captured and, well, converted.
