GOP Senators Wrinkle Their Brows Over Trump Firing BLS Chief
So Trump is getting pushback from some Republican senators over booting the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because he didn't like the jobs report. What the hell does that mean? They're trying to talk sense to him? Are they going to frown and send stern letters? Via NBC News:
Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wy., called the firing “kind of impetuous.”
“If the president is firing the statistician because he doesn’t like the numbers but they are accurate, then that’s a problem,” Lummis said.
