Senate Democrats are doing everything they can to slow down if not all out tank many of Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees.
But while the majority of the nominees are home-run hires, one in particular should worry every freedom-loving American.
And that’s why Rand Paul is frantically trying to warn Donald Trump against moving forward with this disastrous cabinet nominee.
Trump’s worst decision of his second term
Over the past few weeks, the Republican-led Senate has been working to confirm President Donald Trump’s 22 cabinet nominees.
Thus far, the Senate has successfully confirmed 13 Trump nominees in total, but Democrats and establishment RINOs are working in concert to knee-cap several of Trump’s most popular nominees, such as Department of Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Director of National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard, and FBI Director nominee Kash Patel.
For comparison, only eight of former President Joe Biden’s cabinet nominees were confirmed by February 25, 2021, meaning the new Trump administration’s pace is weeks ahead of his historic failure of a predecessor.
But while most are paying close attention to the high-profile battles over RFK, Gabbard, and Patel’s confirmations, one nominee in particular is drawing the ire of Trump’s freedom-loving base.
The President nominated former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (RINO-OR) as his Secretary of Labor, despite the fact that she previously was one of only three self-proclaimed “Republicans” who co-sponsored the PRO Act, which intended to gut Right to Work legislation passed by countless states across the country in what would have been one of the biggest boondoggles for the ruling class elites and their left-wing activist minions in union “leadership” in American history.
You see, Right to Work legislation simply states that American workers should be allowed to choose whether or not they join or pay dues to a labor union, while Big Labor wants nothing more than for their ruling class allies to mandate that workers must be required to give a portion of their income to the union in order to hold a job.
Furthermore, she also co-sponsored radical left-wing legislation that would have forced every state and local government across the nation to collectively bargain with union bosses who purport to represent government employees.
“The bill gives leverage over public policy to unelected union bosses to the detriment of taxpayers and independent-minded government workers, including public school teachers, who want to do their jobs without the wasteful work rules and job featherbedding that a union contract inevitably brings,” National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation President Mark Mix said.
Stand with Rand, Mr. President
Of course, no elected official in America has done more to advance Right to Work legislation in Washington, D.C. in recent years than Senator Rand Paul (R-KY).
And despite being one of Trump’s top allies in the Senate, Paul recently announced that he simply couldn’t support Chavez-DeRemer’s nomination due to her history of putting the interests of predominantly left-wing union bosses ahead of working-class Americans.
“I’m not going to support her,” Senator Paul declared. “I’m the national spokesman and lead author of the [national] Right to Work bill. Her support for the PRO Act, which would not only oppose national Right to Work but would pre-empt state law on Right to Work — I think it’s not a good thing.”
“It’d be sort of hard for me, since it’s a big issue for me, to support her, so I won’t support her,” he added.
The Kentucky Senator went on to predict that as many as 15 Republican Senators could vote against Chavez-DeRemer’s nomination because of her work limiting working-class Americans’ rights and freedoms on behalf of power-hungry, well-to-do union bosses.
Thus far, Chavez-DeRemer remains one of the most prominent Trump cabinet nominees whose confirmation hearing has yet to be scheduled by the Senate.
That may very well be because, as Senator Paul predicted, many Republicans may be voting against her nomination, meaning she’d need the support of numerous Democrats to be confirmed.
And if that is the case, Donald Trump would be wise to listen to trusted, longtime Senate allies, like Rand Paul, and pull her nomination in favor of a pro-working class nominee immediately.
