Conservatives call out GOPe’s slow-walk of approving Trump nominees. (NC’s Murphy defends it.)

Posted on by

Congressman Greg Murphy has to be one of the most audacious, spectacular specimens of liar that I’ve encountered in my nearly four decades in politics. You can’t believe a damn thing he says. 

He first campaigned for federal office with a copy of Conscience of a Conservative close at-hand.  That book is highly regarded as “the Bible” of the modern conservative movement.  Murphy campaigned with House Freedom Caucus members Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows by his side.  Murphy would show his audiences the book and talk of how it had helped him come over to the conservative side.

On Election Night, it was discovered that Murphy had been conspiring the whole time with the GOPe in DC — the foes of the Freedom Caucus.  All while he was telling voters he would stand with Meadows and Jordan in their fight against Big Government Republicanism.  Upon arriving in DC, Murphy ditched the Freedom Caucus guys and ran into the waiting, loving embrace of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.  And the rest is a nasty piece of history.  (The book has likely long been trashed.) 

Readers of this site may recall that we found Greg Murphy making the astounding claim that NO ONE has sex against their will. We caught him physically cheap-shotting Matt Gaetz.  We also found South Carolina’s Nancy Mace suggesting Murphy has no male anatomy.

Fast-forward to TODAY.  Conservatives – like senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) — are questioning the GOP majority’s tactics in both of Capitol Hill’s chambers to prevent President Trump from making recess appointments.

We’ve all seen -in the drive-by media — the havoc that career bureaucrats and appointees of former presidents can wreak on the Trump agenda.  Trump nominees need to be in place to put a stop to that.

In an earlier post, we pointed out that the Senate has approved Trump nominees for only 25 percent of the available US attorney slots in the country.  Only one Trump nominee has been approved in North Carolina – which has a total of THREE US attorney slots.  South Carolina and Virginia, meanwhile, have filled all of their US attorney slots. 

There are also 50 openings in the federal judiciary.  The Senate just recently issued their first approval of a Trump judge nominee.  (That number of 50 includes FOUR in North Carolina. Again, we ask, where in the hell are Budd and Tillis?)

If you’re really behind the Trump America First agenda, you’d be all for what Massie and Lee are advocating.  For some reason, congressman Greg Murphy is NOT:

Gosh, it seems like a teenager has hijacked Murphy’s X account.  

Massie and Lee are right.  Why are Republican leaders on the Hill making it harder for Trump to get his nominees approved?

Why aren’t they recommending nominees for their states?  North Carolina has four judicial openings.  It does not appear ANY nominations have been made for those slots.  And don’t forget that we still have TWO US attorney slots to fill in NC.  No evidence of any nominations there, either.

Are Republican politicians on Capitol Hill really seeking a slow-down of the Trump / MAGA juggernaut? Stuff like this makes you think so.
