Geez---Do anyone think Lutnick knows his job??
KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction and responsible for defining what it means to be poor in America, is that correct?
LUTNICK: I don't know
KENNEDY: Well you need to look. Because it does. What's the percentage of Americans who live at or below the poverty level?

(3,271 posts)4. On one hand, Nutlick should def. resign for having blatantly lied about the timeframe of his contact w/Epstein
But, on the other, I'd kinda like the world to see what Mikey would actually DO if Lutnick (and by extension, Trump) tell everyone to pound sand. Because I suspect we've already seen the strongest action GQP'ers will ever take against a Trump appointee. Which is to say "ask a few uncomfortable questions", but not actually touch the idea of impeachment. This could effectively be leveraged by Democrats come November.
The reality I suspect however is that Lutnick has already been designated the fall guy and will be resigning shortly, and the GQP'ers already know that.
