Why is an Oklahoma company subcontracted for cleaning the reflecting pool in DC? Plenty of qualified local firms. [View all]
Gabe Sanchez @iamgabesanchezJust got off the phone with the owner of Atlantic Industrial Coatings, LLC, the firm awarded a $6.9 million no-bid contract for the reflecting pool.
When asked to confirm whether Mid-America Industrial Coatings had been brought on as a subcontractor, he became evasive and shut down the conversation, stating "That's none of your business".
There are a lot of things off about this project.

Now here's another question: why is an Oklahoma company being subcontracted for a project in the nation's capital? Plenty of qualified local firms exist.
Oh, and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who was photographed at the reflecting pool with Trump, is from Oklahoma. I'll let you connect the dots.
