Economist Stephen Moore said on May 6 that he withdrew from consideration for the Federal Reserve because his voluminous controversial comments over the years would make him an easy target for Senate Democrats.

“I withdrew because it was going to be death by a thousand cuts,” Moore told The Epoch Times. “I have a 2000-page paper trail and 500 speeches. I’ve given hundreds and hundreds of media appearances and it was just too easy. I was too easy a target for the left to pick out things that I had said.”
