Cain says he won't back down, wants to be nominated to Fed
By Sylvan Lane - 04/17/19 03:59 PM EDT

Herman Cain, who President Trump floated for a position on the Federal Reserve Board, said Wednesday he will continue to seek a spot at the central bank despite almost insurmountable Republican opposition.

Cain told the Wall Street Journal in a Wednesday interview that he will not withdraw from consideration for a nomination to the Fed board after GOP senators all but doomed his appointment.

The 2012 GOP presidential candidate told the Journal “he’s very committed” to seeing the vetting process through after Trump announced earlier this month he intended to nominate Cain to the Fed if he passed a background check.

“The president asked me one simple question,” Cain told the Journal. “He said, ’Would you consider doing this if you make it through the process?’ I said yes. Didn’t hesitate.”

If he continues, he will receive the 'Clarence Thomas treatment', or what is most recently called the 'Candace Owens treatment'. 

Better gird those loins, Herman.  It could be ugly.

   Trump needs more 'qualified' Blacks in his Appointment Legacy.  Sec. Carson has been a dutiful soldier, so far.
   Omarosa was a hugh disappointment.
