Dave Brat: Larry Kudlow ‘Is Going to Be a Breath of Fresh Air’ in the White House

Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA), a member of the House Freedom Caucus, told Breitbart News Daily on Thursday that newly tapped National Economic Council chairman Larry Kudlow “is going to be a breath of fresh air” in the White House.

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he picked former Ronald Reagan economist and longtime CNBC commentator Larry Kudlow as his chief economic adviser and director of the National Economic Council.

“Larry Kudlow was offered, and accepted, the position of Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and Director of the National Economic Council,” Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.

Congressman Brat told Breitbart News Daily, “On Kudlow, this guy is going to be phenomenal. I think he’s super. He goes back to the Reagan era. He ran the OMB, the Office of Management and Budget. He’s a total free-marketeer. He’s familiar with everything: Reagan politics, free-market economics, Wall Street, TV host, and everybody likes him. Democrats like him. Republicans like him. But he doesn’t shrink back from his message.”
