Another big fake news media day, as Trump’s labor secretary Andy Puzder has withdrawn his name from consideration. When Oprah released a tape of Puzder’s ex-wife trashing him in 1990, that was basically the end of Puzder because it gave cowardly Republicans like John McCain, Thad Cochran, Lindsey Graham and others excuses not to vote to confirm Puzder.
| Obama had 3 cabinet nominees forced to withdraw but not Tim Geithner |

So Puzder becomes the first of Donald Trump cabinet member picks to withdraw before their nomination vote. To the fake news media, this is a big deal. But in 2009 when Obama had three caibnet members forced to resign, that wasn’t news at all to the same fake news Soros media outfits.
Remember Tom Daschle? He qA Obama’s first nominee for the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Only problem is, Daschle has conflict of interest issue. He was paid $220,000 in speaking fees to Healthcare providers, and was paid $16 million as an advisor to Healthcare lobbying groups. Eventually, Daschle was forced to withdraw and we got Kathleen Sebelius.
Number of withdrawn Cabinet-level selections since 1987:
•Trump: 1
•Obama: 3
•GWB: 2
•Clinton: 5
•Reagan: 1 https://t.co/8Y6nK4qj4z— Fox News Research (@FoxNewsResearch) February 15, 2017
Of course there was also Bill Richardson. He corrupt New Mexico Democrat was under federal investigation involving some of his political donors. Richardson was forced to withdrew himself from the nomination.
And lastly, New Hampshire’s Judd Gregg. He was basically picked by Obama for one season. To add to the Democrat’s super-majority in the Senate.
Tax cheat Tim Geithner who had absolutely no business being Secretary of the Treasury barely got in, because of cowardly Republicans trying to appease Obama.
Bill Clinton had five of his original cabinet nominees forced to withdraw in 1993. So if the media wants to play that game, let them.
