To pick staff, Scalise turns to lobbyist

[carlfense]

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise got some help interviewing potential new hires for his press shop from an unlikely source: a federal lobbyist.

 

Quinn Gillespie & Associates’ John Feehery sat in on and participated in multiple official interviews with job candidates last month for the new majority whip’s press operation. Scalise has not yet announced who he will name as his communications director.

Well, then.

And people seriously doubt the amount of influence that lobbyists and money have on American politics?

 

Sickening. This crap needs to end, ASAP.
