More on our new Acting AG:
When federal investigators were digging into an invention-promotion company accused of fraud by customers, they sought information in 2017 from a prominent member of the company’s advisory board, according to two people familiar with the probe: Matthew G. Whitaker, a former U.S. attorney in Iowa.

It is unclear how Whitaker — who was appointed acting attorney general by President Trump on Wednesday — responded to a Federal Trade Commission subpoena to his law firm.

In the end, the FTC filed a complaint against Miami-based World Patent Marketing, accusing it of misleading investors and falsely promising that it would help them patent and profit from their inventions, according to court filings.

In May of this year, a federal court in Florida ordered the company to pay a settlement of more than $25 million and close up shop, records show. The company did not admit or deny wrongdoing.

Agree about what?

It is never the case that all voters for a candidate vote for them for the same reason.

yes, but there are reasons why no one should vote for a candidate.

King is a disgrace for the US, and it is disgraceful that people vote for him.

You know how much I despise Trump and his administration, but you are going way too far for me.
One of my concerns is that Trump will cause some of his opponents to become no better then he is.

I want a certain faction of the anti Trump movement to become worse than he is. Not candidates of course but there needs to be a faction that doesn't just hit below the belt, they need to not see that there is a belt. When they go low, strike them from underneath.

And how many people voted for him?

a big bunch of Deplorables using the old "But Hitler built the Autobahn" excuse why they are only voting for the "Good bits of King", not the bad ones.

Voters supposedly value character and morality in their candidates, but many have none themselves.

You made the claim, not me, but you can't back it up.

My claim, from the point of view of someone who believes in Democracy and Humanism, is that certain comments and behaviors disqualify a person from being a Representative, regardless of what else they stand for.

If I am willing to let a racist represent me, I am endorsing racist ideology.
