Sen. Elizabeth Warren: Trump’s Firing of the BLS Commissioner Politicizes the Jobs Numbers

EXCERPT:

WARREN: “When Donald Trump moves in and says, I don't like the numbers. These are bad job numbers, and they are bad job numbers, and he says off with her head. We're getting rid of her. What he does is he politicizes the numbers themselves. And the person who replaces her, what does that person do next? Do they only serve up nice numbers? Do they sort of re-sand the numbers, paint them a little different color? No, if that happens, then effectively you blind the United States and all of our policymakers, all of our decision makers all of our businesses and you diminish us around the world. People say one more place where it's not about reality. It's about whatever lives in Donald Trump's head.”
