Nepotism rises again! [View all]

Trump has announced the new U.S. Attorneys for the state of West Virginia, and one of them is Moore Capito.

Son of West Virginia's senior senator, Shelley Moore Capito.

Who, despite a barrage of phone calls from throughout the state concerned about losing healthcare, voted for the Big Ball of BS Bill.

(There have also been a bunch of television commercials for Shelley, promoting her love of Trump and her re-election in 19 months. The ads are paid for by Take Me Home WV Action Super Pac, who describes itself as "We support conservative Republican candidates that will stand with President Donald J. Trump and make America great again." She won in 2020 with 70% of the vote - why does she need to campaign this early?)
