CBSs decision to hire Mulvaney raised eyebrows and sparked furor within the news organization as multiple journalists and CBS employees expressed their frustration with the move to the Washington Post.
I know everyone I talked to today was embarrassed about the hiring, one anonymous employee is quoted as telling the Post.
The Hageman fundraiser was exceptional for multiple reasons. Some 50 House GOP members attended the event aimed at removing one of their former leaders from office. Congressmen Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) were among the more high-profile members at the event.
:snip:
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was the only GOP Senator to attend Hagemans fundraiser. Paul weighed in on his support of Hageman, telling CBS, I dont think Liz Cheney has much of a chance of winning unless she can convince most Democrats to vote for her. But most of the Democrats havent been too happy with the Cheneys either. So I think shes sort of a woman without a party at this point.

(82,849 posts)I'm pretty sure CBS will get a scoop-worthy story from their shiny new contributor about the unseemly backscratching that went on at Hageman's fundraiser, right? Or at least some footage of Mulvaney stripping off his shirt and swinging on a pole?
