‘Way beyond anything that Richard Nixon ever did’

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers on Sunday said President Trump’s decision to fire the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics following a dismal jobs report is “way beyond anything that Richard Nixon ever did.”
During an appearance on ABC News’s “This Week,” Summers slammed the decision to fire Erika McEntarfer and said it was worse than the firings made by former President Nixon, who notably fired the special prosecutor investigating the Watergate scandal, with others submitting their resignations alongside him. While Nixon was not impeached, he eventually resigned over the scandal.
“This is way beyond anything that Richard Nixon ever did,” he said. “I’m surprised that other officials have not responded by resigning themselves as took place when Richard Nixon fired people lawlessly.”
“There’s no conceivable way that the head of the BLS could have manipulated this number,” he added. “The numbers are in line with what we’re seeing from all kinds of private sector sources.”
Ok then why the huge swing in numbers champ?

Do you really think that ANYONE who voted for Trump gives a royal frick about what Larry Summers thinks?
This politicized c*nt put out completely fraudulent numbers right before the election in order to help Harris. As soon as that became apparent, she deserved to be fired.

Of all the incredible information being revealed about corrupt government officials this is what Larry Summers is concerned about?

See, this is where these leftist lawfare types screw up.
Nixon firing was never lawless.
It may have been politically scandalous, but it wasn’t lawless.
Trying to create smoke around Trump‘s actions to make them appear as lawless is potentially lawless in itself. Consider that.

That’s why I posted “what took so long?” In the original thread about this.
Only thing I can see, it Trump was letting her out herself to make a point about it.

All the shite that has gone on and Nixon is still brought up. Nixon’s legacy can’t catch a break.

The absolutely abysmal swing in jobs reports over and over and over warrants a shakeup at the BLS.
It is apparent that the commissioner has not performed their duty well enough.
If this is the same person who was the head of BLS during the Biden admin, she should have been fired years ago.

Does it disturb you to know that the name "Tarzan" created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, meant "White Skin"?
