I didn’t see this covered in the other Tillis thread. What a RINO POS!

President Donald Trump will face an important obstacle — from within his own party — as he seeks to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said Sunday he will block any Trump appointees to the central bank, including for the new chair, in light of revelations over the weekend that the Justice Department is investigating Powell for potential perjury charges.
quote:
“If there were any remaining doubt whether advisers within the Trump Administration are actively pushing to end the independence of the Federal Reserve, there should now be none. It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question,” Tillis said in a statement. “I will oppose the confirmation of any nominee for the Fed — including the upcoming Fed Chair vacancy — until this legal matter is fully resolved,” he added.

So opposed to investigating Powell? Sounds like someone needs to look into Tillis.

It's interesting to see where some of these GOP bastards go when they have an opportunity to "go all out."

He is an a-hole, but why is Trump fricking with Powell and the Fed? The dude is gone in about 5 months.

Just curious, not familiar with most of Tillis’ work. What specifically has he done that makes you consider him a Rino?

If only our Republican congressman weren’t all traitors and would allow Trump to have recess appointments. He’s the ONLY President in history who has not been able to have recess appointments and to be blocked by his own party.
