Now, about this nepotism thing. I seem to recall that JFK appointed his brother, Bobby, as AG and the senate confirmed the appointment. And his other brother, the insane Teddy, was a senator.
First lady Hillary launched Hillarycare, and this was not just a first lady's benefit project, this was an attempt to legislate, a no-no for an un-elected wife of a president.
Both Vice President Al Gore and his father were senators from Tennessee. And not only was George W. Bush's father president, but his great-grandfather was a U.S. senator.
Family connections are all over the capital. Colin Powell's son was appointed chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. The wife of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Elaine Chao, was appointed secretary of Labor. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist's daughter, Janet, was appointed inspector-general of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Michigan congressman John Dingell, a Democrat, now occupies the seat once held by his father. So do Charles Gonzalez, D-Texas, Jim Duncan, R-Tenn., and Harold Ford, D-Tenn.
The father of the Democratic leader in the House, Nancy Pelosi, was a congressman.
Sen. Frank Murkowski, R-Alaska, gave up his Senate seat to become his state's governor. He said he examined the qualifications of 24 Alaskan officials to decide who should fill his Senate seat. And then, after long deliberation, he picked his daughter, Lisa Murkowski. She was a state senator.
Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., has a son-in-law who is lobbyist. Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., has a son who lobbies for telecommunications companies and shipbuilders.
Governor Moonbeam is currently serving his fourth full term, after his father already served two terms from 1959 to 1967
Andrew Cuomo became governor after his father, Mario Cuomo.
Oh yeah, examples of nepotism in high places go way way back.
The only reason liberals object to member's of Trump's family working with him is because liberals have a pathological need to scream about something, and they get especially strident when they get their dicks smashed into the dirt.

Read the law as it pertains to nepotism. Is the appointment of his family to the t***sition team nepotism or not? Simple question. If it is, are you okay with that fact? If not, will you act or speak out against it. Are you trying to suggest that because nepotism may have happened before, there is a precedent or excuse for Trump to practice it now? Effectively, two wrongs (or 3 or 4 or more) make it right? What blocks you guys from questioning Trump? It is like a recent Trump supporter said that the illegal, unconstitutional, and heinous internment camps for Japanese Americans during WWII was precedent to do the same to Muslims. I am truly flummoxed at how you all seem so blind to the character and actions of this man and ready to make the most ridiculous arguments in support of him.
