Warren, who has railed against lobbyists and special interests, tweeted out a Daily Caller article highlighting Gowdy's next career move after retiring from Congress.
"The former Republican South Carolina representative will join Nelson Mullins, the South Carolina-based law and lobbying firm announced," the Daily Caller reported. "Gowdy, 54, worked at Nelson Mullins through 1994, when he left the firm to become an assistant federal prosecutor."
Warren, who announced earlier this week that she is forming a 2020 exploratory committee for president, responded by tweeting that it is clear Gowdy "just wanted a fat lobbyist paycheck."
Warren's tweet prompted Gowdy to respond, "I'm not lobbying. Not now. Or ever. Perhaps you were cracking open a beer when that was announced." Gowdy's line about "cracking open a beer" was a reference to Warren's viral Instagram live video during which she opened a beer.
"Don't mind your criticisms. Just be more sensitive to facts," Gowdy added.
.@TGowdySC foamed at the mouth with power in Congress, then retired because he claimed he didn't enjoy it. Now it’s clear: Trey Gowdy just wanted a fat lobbyist paycheck. That should be illegal. dailycaller.com/2019/01/03/tre…

Hate to be the one to say it but Gowdy's new employer according to a S.C. Lawyers Weekly Survey sums them up as this:
ReplyDelete"Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP is a U.S. law firm and lobby group based in Columbia, South Carolina. In 2018, the American Lawyer ranked the firm as the 87th largest law firm in the nation based on 2017 gross revenue. It is the largest law firm in South Carolina"
Notice the "law firm and lobby group" part? Gowdy will be what you call a "celebrity" hire, looks good on the letterhead.
