TRUMP LOSES: His second nominee for Army Secretary withdraws nomination after homophobia accusations

Today Mark E. Green, who was nominated by Donald Trump for the position of Army Secretary, withdrew from being considered for the post after he was criticized for his position against gay, bisexuaal and transgender people.

According to The New York Times:

Mr. Green, a Tennessee state senator who was an Army flight surgeon, has criticized federal attempts to bar discrimination against gay, bisexual and transgender people in workplaces and businesses.

This is the second time Trump fails at getting an Army Secretary. His first nominee, Vincent Viola, also withdrew in February claiming he could not dettach himself from his business ties as owner of the N.H.L.'s Florida Panthers.

So that's one for conflicts of interest and one for homophobia.
