Crackpot conservative "economist" Stephen Moore won't be getting a spot on the Federal Reserve board. According to Trump, he's out.
That may be news to Stephen Moore himself: Only 30 minutes prior to Trump's announcement, Moore told reporter Joshua Green that he had no plans to withdraw.
Moore's nomination was controversial not only because of Moore's inexperience and uniformly catastrophic past economic prescriptions, but also because of personal and legal troubles and a history of past misogynistic writings that he attempted to pass off as "humor."
