Trump Names Failed House Candidate To Crypto Board

Yahoo News reports:

On Sunday, President-Elect Donald Trump unveiled Bo Hines as his pick for the executive director of a presidential crypto council. In 2022, Trump endorsed Hines for a House seat representing North Carolina’s 13th District. Hines, however, lost his bid to Democrat Wiley Nickel.

Hines, an ex-football player turned political figure, will take part in the Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets alongside Sacks. The council will guide Trump on cryptocurrency and help develop national policies that foster innovation in the nascent technology.

Read the full article. Hines, who reportedly still owes $1 million from his 2022 campaign, ran another failed bid for the House in 2024. Hines had called for rape and incest victims to appear before a “community review board” to assess if they qualified for abortions.

Bo Hines accuses us of supporting “post-birth abortions.” We do not & that is not a thing. He made this up out of whole cloth.

But it sounds like if something goes horribly wrong with your child’s birth and you lose the baby, he wants to make that a crimepic.twitter.com/UZQ7jXEfWQ
