Why did Donald Trump’s DEA nominee quit just before his confirmation hearing?
Well, that was fast. One of Donald Trump's key cabinet picks has just announced that he is withdrawing his name, just like Matt Gates now. Can you guess why this cabinet member who Donald Trump nominated, or potential cabinet member, is withdrawing his name? Did you guess child sex trafficking allegations? Wrong. Did you guess sympathizing with Russia and spreading Russian propaganda? Wrong. I want you to meet Chad Cronister right here, who is currently the Hillsborough County Sheriff in Florida. He was named Donald Trump's Head of Drug Enforcement Administration. Now let me show you what crushed his nomination. You ready for it? Here it is. Let's play it. Hello, I'm Sherry.
Chad Cronister. March 25th is the Tampa Pride Diversity Parade. It has become a historical annual spring event in Ybor City when Florida weather is the most enjoyable. It's a time for love and unity, celebrating equality for everyone. The Hillsburg County Sheriff's Office is ready to celebrate our employees and our community. As we prepare to show support for all people, we focus on the process. On compassion, understanding, and inclusion. As your sheriff, I'm proud of the diversity within our agency. We're over 4,000 strong, and we come from all walks of life with a variety of backgrounds and differing ideas. It's what makes us great as we represent the community we serve each and every day. We'll see at the pride parade, celebrating the diversity.
Of our amazing community.
That's right, the cardinal sin of MAGA Republicans. He supported pride events as the sheriff, representing uh a community and being inclusive of all uh people. Trump's DEA nominee drops out. MAGA hated the pick because he marched in a pride parade, had a DEI program, and supported two red flag laws.
Who is Chad Cronister and what is his background as Hillsborough County Sheriff?
Two major Trump nominees already washing out. Here's the statement from Chad Cronister, the sheriff of Hillsborough County in Florida. To have been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as administrator of the DEA is an honor of my lifetime. Over the past several days. As the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I've concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration. There is more work to be done for the citizens of Hillsboro County and a lot of initiatives I am committed to fulfilling. I sincerely appreciate the nomination, the outpouring of support by the American people, and look forward to continuing my service as Sheriff of Hillsborough. County. Now what does that say?
About the MAGA Republican Party, where they are so all in on defending Pete Hegsa with credible rape allegations against him, which he denies. And also the story that broke in the past 48 hours about booze, strippers, debt, and NDA claims by the two veterans groups that pushed him out. How about the fact that? He's a guy, and he denies the allegations. Let's be clear about that. He's a guy who um has never led uh a military company in his life, never commanded a company, but Donald Trump picked him to be defense secretary. And so while the MAGAs forced out um uh the sheriff of hillsboro for pride events. They were all in on TV defending Hegset today. So you've got uh Richard McCormick here, MAGA Republican.
um uh saying uh or defending him. No, sorry. This is uh uh Senator Sullivan here. Um here's what he said. Let me play this clip for you. Let me play that one instead. Let's play it.
The Pentagon needs a serious course correction, so I'm gonna have a lot of questions for him but I think you know he's he's the kind of guy who can do that. I mean but there's a process for that.
