The political rehabilitation of Mick Mulvaney is a mistake

I do not watch CBS news and now I will really avoid this source




Soon after, as the Covid-19 crisis took shape in the United States, Mulvaney said the burgeoning public-health emergency was secretly an elaborate scheme concocted by Trump’s domestic enemies to make the Republican White House look bad in an election year.

As his tenure in the West Wing came to an end, multiple scholars came to the same conclusion: Mulvaney was the single worst White House chief of staff in American history.

There were multiple reports last year highlighting a fascinating trend: While White House veterans generally find it easy to find new jobs, former members of Trump’s team struggled in the job market, tarnished by their former boss’ many scandals. With this in mind, Mulvaney, looking for a way back into polite society, probably had limited employment options.

It was against this backdrop that CBS, for reasons unknown, appears to have thrown Mulvaney a professional life preserver.

But as a rule, tarnished political figures are supposed to earn their way out of the penalty box. What has Mulvaney done to rehabilitate his ruined reputation in the wake of years of failures, scandals and embarrassments?

Contemptible man and any organization that would hire him gets NONE of my attention. No more Colbert in this household. We are done with CBS.

I asked them who they would hire next "Ginni Thomas?" And then said I would not be
watching CBS again until he is fired.

I can't believe these anti democracy traitors aren't being shunned, they should be pariahs, they tried to overthrow America's democracy.

"Thank you, Mick! And now for these messages from our sponsors."
