Republican Senators raise concerns about Trump’s expulsion in the responsible employment department
Some Republican Senators expressed concern about President Donald Trump’s decision on Friday to shoot the head of the work statistics office hours after the issuance of the Joob July report.
Several Republicans have told NBC News that they would face the fire of Erika Minarker, BLS, if this was the result of Trump’s commitment to job reports numbers, showing that the American labor market in the past months was much weaker than previously thought.
Trump defended his decision on Friday, saying without evidence that the number of the report was “false” and accused MCNTarfer of issuing favorable jobs numbers before the elections to give former Vice President Kamala Harris a advantage.

Senator Cinemia Lomes, RY, said. , If the data is not trustworthy, the audience must know that, but the commissioner will shoot before knowing if the numbers are inaccurate “a kind of irony”.
“If the president shoots the statistics because he does not like the numbers, but it is accurate, then this is a problem,” Le Mists said. “It is not a statistical error if the numbers were accurate and it is not what the president was hoping.”
Senator Tom Telese, RN.C, criticized Trump’s decision to launch Minarker as well.
“If it was just expelled because the president or whoever decided to shoot at the director he just did so because they did not like the numbers, they should grow up,” Tilis said.

Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky said. And who discovered the shooting of the Commissioner from the NBC News question on this topic, he does not know much about the topic but started to ask whether this step would be effective in improving numbers.
“We have to search somewhere for objective statistics. When people who offer statistics are launched, it makes it very difficult to issue judgments you know, statistics will not be politicized,” Paul said.
He added: “I will search for it, but the first impression is that you cannot really make the numbers different or better by launching the people who take the count.”
Paul also opposed Trump’s “beautiful draft law” in June. Senator said in June that because of his audio opposition, he was not invited from an annual picnic for the White House in the weeks before the vote on the comprehensive local policy package. However, Trump later said that Paul and his family were invited.
Senator Lisa Morkovsky, RASCA, said she could not trust job numbers-and “this is the problem.”
“When people shoot, this makes people trust them less,” she said.
Democratic Senate members spoke against the launch of Minarker, also, with the leader of the Senate minority Chuck Schumer, Din.
Senator Bernie Sanders description, I-VT. This step is a “sign of tyranny”, “what this means, I think the American people will find it difficult to believe the information that comes out of the government, because Trump will always want to be great news, and when that happens, it is difficult for us to deal with problems, because we do not know what is going on around it.”
Senator Brian Shatz, De Hawaii, went ahead, describing the Menterparfs “Fascist Dictatorships”.
Former BLS Commissioner William Beach, who was appointed by Trump in this position and was confirmed By the Senate in 2019, Make a post on x Calling the launch of the Mcenarfer “is completely baseless”, “a dangerous precedent”, and undermining the “statistical task of the office”.
A statement Through “Friends of the Statistics Office”, he participated in his signature on the beach, he confirmed the accuracy of the work of the office and mcenternarfer specifically.
“The process of obtaining numbers is decentralized according to the design to avoid interference opportunities. BLS uses the same installed, transparent and reliable process to produce estimates every month. Every month, BLS reviews employment estimates two months ago to reflect slower and more accurate information,” as stated in the statement.
He added: “BLS works as a federal statistical agency and is provided for independence to ensure that the data issued by it is as accurate as possible.”
