Opinion: Stephen Moore’s economic policies aren’t the only reason he’s wrong for the Fed
Stephen Moore By Helaine Olen Helaine Olen Opinion writer focusing on politics, economics and American life Bio Follow Opinion writer April 24 at 4:42 PM One doesn’t need to ask why President Trump nominated conservative economic columnist Stephen Moore to the Federal Reserve Board. It has long been clear that Trump prizes servile loyalty over competence.
Oh, really? Some barely read as humor columns at all, while even the others supposedly written in jest reveal attitudes toward women that range between frat-house puerile wannabe and economic sexist troglodyte. Other columns feature complaints about his wife. “Allison consumes, but she still doesn’t produce,” he wrote in one. In another, he talks about how a child inherited his looks and her brains — “a nightmarish outcome” — before going on to discuss “hitting on” women while chauffeuring his children, only to be repeatedly foiled by one child “drooling in the baby seat” while two others “start making weird faces” at the object of his would-be affections.
Moore’s columns are no spoof. This stuff reflects his real-life views. In 2017, for instance, he argued on a news program that men should “never have a meeting with a woman without someone else in the room” because a corporate executive told him so. He wasn’t trying to be funny. Nor was Moore attempting to bring down the house when he claimed in a non-spoof 2014 post that talking about the gender pay gap between men and women simply distracts from falling wages for everyone.
