President-elect Donald Trump's choice to be labor secretary has voiced second thoughts in recent days, because of a relentless barrage of criticism from Democrats, labor unions and other liberal groups, a business ally and GOP sources tell CNN.

Andy Puzder is the CEO of the company that owns the Hardees and Carl's Jr. fast food chains.

"He may be bailing," said a Republican source plugged into the Trump transition effort. "He is not into the pounding he is taking, and the paperwork."

A Trump transition spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but later pointed to a tweet made by Puzder after CNN's report, which said: "I am looking forward to my hearing."

So keep criticizing Trump's people, guys.

Puzder is a domestic abuser who hates laborers so this would be good if he bailed on the job.

Your burgers suck too, fuckman. Can't do paperwork and can't make a hamburger. Maybe you'd make a good ditch digger.

What!? You're telling me I can't hold and act in position of public office like I would in one of a private business?!

Pretty much Trump's plan in a nutshell. Trying to set up his administration like a private business but there's a separate term for what we usually call 'private' governments instead of 'public' ones.

he googled "dictionary" and then used the google search bar on the dictionary website to search "secretary," which then took him back to google and gave him a dictionary listing with the definition of the word "secretary."

Trump is rewarding his henchmen with the highest positions in government and so many of them don't even give a shit about the job. Fucking unbelievable.

They definitely weren't going on Sundays after church because Chik-Fil-A is closed on sundays.

As far as I know the whole chick-fil-a boycott thing was a huge failure though. The company is still doing great and whenever I walk by there the line is packed. Great sandwiches.

Also Pudzer will have to divest all his shares in businesses as part of becoming SoL so boycotting the company doesn't really make sense to me. If he's confirmed, he won't have anything to do with the company or its profits anymore.

Yeah. Puzder was accused of domestic abuse but never charged.

That doesn't make it fake news though. Lots of people get accused of domestic abuse and it never brought to trial.

Was the news orginization that accused him legitimate, or was the whole story made up?

It's only fake news when 100% of it is BS. It's why shit like the Buzzfeed dossier isn't fake news. It's shit reporting, but definetly not fake news.

Puzder's wife made anonymous appearances on Oprah to talk about the violent abuse she was receiving from her husband (something that wouldn't really help her in divorce proceedings!), but sure, Puzder never beat her.

Also, I know four men who have assaulted their wives and have faced no legal repercussion for it, guess they're not domestic abusers!

Ok It wasn't Sunday then. But I remember it was definitely a thing to go to Chick-Fil-A and flout your dissent of gay marriage.
