#Vought’s confirmation hearing was contentious. Sen #BernieSanders accused him of using #Islamophobic language when he wrote in 2016 that #Muslims “do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ his Son, & they stand condemned.”

Vought told senators his remarks were taken out of context & said he respected the right of every person to express their #religious beliefs.

Among the small cadre of #Trump advisers who has a mechanic’s understanding of how Washington operates, #Vought has advised influential *#conservative* lawmakers on Capitol Hill, held a top post in the WH & later established his own pro-Trump think tank. Now, he’s being mentioned as a candidate to be Trump’s WH #ChiefOfStaff, one of the most #powerful positions in govt.

A chief architect of #Project2025 — the controversial *#conservative* blueprint to remake the #FederalGovernment — #Vought is likely to be appointed to a high-ranking post in a 2nd #Trump admin. And he’s been drafting a so-far secret “180-Day Transition Playbook” to speed the plan’s implementation to avoid a repeat of the chaotic start that dogged Trump’s 1st term.
