There's No Business Like Show Business

Right on cue, 33 workers from the restaurants franchised by the company headed by President Trump's nominee for Secretary of Labor filed complaints today against their employers.  The mainstream media then started talking about the "strong headwinds" affecting the
nominee's chance for confirmation.  You really have to hand it to the media; they seem capable of fooling themselves on so many issues.

Think about it for a moment.  None of the complaints are actually against the nominee.  Nearly all are not even against the company headed by the nominee.  The complaints are against franchisees.  And remember; these are complaints, not anything found to be valid after investigation.  The truth is that what happened with these complaints is nothing but a show put on by the Democrats to try to embarrass the nominee.  There's no way that 33 complaints of this sort would be filed on the same day in so many different states.  It's an organized effort to file complaints.  It's interesting that about half dozen of the complaints are for sexual harassment at different restaurants.  This has nothing to do with the CEO of the company (the nominee).  Then there are complaints of low wages.  They are not complaints that wages were illegally low, just that workers wanted them to be higher. 

The sad thing about all this is that the effort by the Democrats to create this show is a waste of time.  The nominee will be approved.  Most people will know nothing at all about these meaningless complaints.  Why do the Democrats waste their time on this stuff?
