White House pulls Antoni’s nomination for head of BLS, CNN reports

The White House is pulling the nomination of E.J. Antoni to the role of head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, CNN’s Kristen Holmes, Adam Cancryn, and Em Steck report, citing three sources. The move comes after CNN reported earlier this month that Antoni had overseen a since-deleted Twitter account that featured sexually degrading remarks about former Vice President Kamala Harris, derogatory language about gay people, conspiracy theories, and insults aimed at President Trump’s critics, the authors note.
