Moore Says Opponents Are ‘Pulling a Kavanaugh’

“Stephen Moore, President Trump’s planned nominee for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board, said his opponents are ‘pulling a Kavanaugh against me’ amid new revelations about columns in the 2000s in which he made derogatory statements about women, called for former Georgia governor Sonny Perdue (R) to be impeached and made a joking reference to AIDS,” the Washington Post reports.

“Moore is also coming under scrutiny for saying in 2016 that it would be a ‘betrayal’ for Trump to pick former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R) to be secretary of state. Romney now represents Utah in the Senate, which would have to approve Moore’s nomination if he is to be confirmed to the position.”
