Not sure, but word is he's sometimes called upon to blow into the breathalyzer when Pete's feeling a bit off his mark.

This is the administration that wants people to be hired based on MERIT.

The most repulsive form of corruption is when the powerful line up their friends and relatives in cinderella jobs. they do it all the time, openly and in-your-face.

So the supremely unqualified white supremacist DUI hire makes himself an actual DEI hire, a less than mediocre white guy with zero experience and completely unqualified for the job, but he fired the highly qualified 4-star Chairman of the Joint Chiefs because he was black. That's the Drumpf regime in a nutshell.

He's white and he's family. That's all the merit that he needs according to MAGATS.

What? Does he even have the experience to do this job? Has he ever worked for right-wing media?

past experience includes social media and podcasts

Oh, ok, good enough.
