'Historic': Lawmaker calls Trump nominees' sexual misconduct allegations record-breaking

Source: Raw Story

November 24, 2024 4:35PM ET


Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) suggested President-elect Donald Trump had made history by nominating the most people accused of sexual misconduct ever in a new administration. During a panel discussion on ABC's This Week program, Democratic strategist Donna Brazile noted that Trump was trying to avoid FBI background checks for his nominees.

"But they will go through a background check," former Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus interrupted. "[Trump] has not signed the agreements," former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) pointed out. "He doesn't trust the FBI, so he doesn't want the FBI doing these background checks."

Host Jonathan Karl observed that Trump wanted to vet the FBI instead of having the FBI vet his nominees. "If I had Robert, look, if I had Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Pete Hegseth with some of those background issues that they have, I wouldn't necessarily want the FBI looking around me either," Christie said.

"He doesn't want background checks and he's not decided to put people in that are qualified," Crockett argued. "This has to be a historic number of people that have been accused of sexual assault or some type of sexual misconduct in, in some way." "But what is really frustrating that the American people need to pay attention to is the fact that if you are going to work in one of these agencies, you will have to be most likely vetted to a higher level than the person that's running that agency," she added.

If you are running a criminal enterprise you need employees who love to break the law.

And if you are mob boss who hates women, and sees rape as a form of entertainment,
you will hire like minded men.

Are the "revenge for 'Me Too' movement" picks deliberately sent to disorient us before he actually takes office? Or the coke-headed cruel jokes suggested by DJT Jr., to test MAGA loyalty to their Divine One?

I hate living in an actual dystopian novel.

Became an adult, he was first and foremost a pervert and pedophile. Malicious narcissist are frequently sex perverts.

He is now the leader of all the sexual perverts and pedophiles in the US. Much like most Roman emperors, though they, at least, had drinking from lead pipes, err aquaducts, to blame.

Reminds me of Caligula.Though I think Tiberius was worse for his anal sex experts assigned to work for him in the government. They were called analists.
