Trump’s Fed nominee Stephen Moore, in a 2009 Michael Moore documentary, said he isn't a 'big believer in Democracy.' “Capitalism is a lot more important than democracy'
Stephen Moore, President Donald Turmp’s nominee to head up the Federal Reserve, is coming under scrutiny for controversial comments he made about democracy and capitalism in a documentary.
The recently-surfaced comments from Moore about democracy come from a 2009 documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story, by Michael Moore . At the time, Stephen Moore was a Wall Street Journal columnist and editorial board member. And, as CNN’s KFile points out, Moore espoused his anti-democratic views elsewhere, saying on the Thom Hartmann Show in 2010 that Hitler was elected in a democracy and that Saudi Arabia would not be successful with a democracy. And when he was asked whether capitalism or democracy was more important, Moore said, “I think capitalism, without free market capitalism, countries don’t get rich.
