Trump is catastrophically weird and he hires people just like him. The just-departed Labor Secretary is apparently a drunk like Hegseth and Patel, and of course a corrupt official like all Trumpers.
Axios:
Chavez-DeRemer's departure follows repeated accusations of abusing power:
Whistleblowers allege she directed staff to "make up" official trips to cover travel with family and friends.She's accused of drinking on the job, having an inappropriate relationship with a security detail member and taking staff to a strip club.
Her husband was barred from Labor Department headquarters after female staffers accused him of sexual assault.
If we had to fire everyone who drinks on the job, the unemployment rate would be well over 60%. What the hell is this witch hunt on drinkers? It's not whether you drink, it's how you drink. Hindu Patel obviously drinks like a sorority girl, and probably should be fired for his failures. But Hegsmith and this Chavez-Redeemer woman are aces at this. She's a Mexican immigrant Catholic, for Christ's sakes. If anyone can handle mass volumes of day drinking booze, it is the Catholics that have proved their resolve in that regard. Why the hell is she getting purged?
