President Trump has withdrawn his nomination of Elise Stefanik as ambassador to the United Nations, citing the GOP's thin majority in the House of Representatives, thus eliminating the need for a special election in the 518, which would've been pushed back to July at the very least. At least now we know why they hadn't confirmed Stefanik up to this point.
Well, they say a broken clock is usually right at least twice a day...........!
Meanwhile, the fallout from the gaffes in the now-infamous Signal chat that came to light earlier this week continues.
One GOP official in on that meeting falsely blamed the Biden administration for allowing something like this to happen, but a Biden administration official has gone on record stating that they never used Signal in the first place.
It's on brand for the GOP to scapegoat the previous administration, in the faint hope of avoiding accountability. Not in this case, though, not when everyone knows who was in on the meeting.
The Trump Cabinet's new theme should be this Stephen Sondheim classic, "Send in The Clowns", in this case sung by Carol Burnett.
