CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/16/politics/andrew-andy-puzder-labor-trump/index.html
Excerpt: President-elect Donald Trump's choice to be labor secretary has voiced second thoughts in recent days, because of a relentless barrage of criticism from Democrats, labor unions and other liberal groups, a business ally and GOP sources tell CNN.
Andy Puzder is the CEO of the company that owns the Hardees and Carl's Jr. fast food chains.
"He may be bailing," said a Republican source plugged into the Trump transition effort. "He is not into the pounding he is taking, and the paperwork."
A Trump transition spokesperson declined to comment, but later pointed to a tweet made by Puzder after CNN's report, which said: "I am looking forward to my hearing."

Too many women who have had lawsuits about his abuse and rape have had to walk away due to the the treatment of the Trump cultists.
'Fuck that shit' I say on behalf of every woman who has been abused by Trump.
