“If the president is firing the statistician because he doesn’t like the numbers but they are accurate, then that’s a problem -it’s not the statistician’s fault if the numbers are accurate and that they’re not what the president had hoped for.”; -Senator Cynthia Lummis (R), WY; “If she was just fired because the president or whoever decided to fire the director just did it because they didn’t like the numbers, they ought to grow up.”; -Senator Thom Tillis (R), NC; “We have to look somewhere for objective statistics. When the people providing the statistics are fired, it makes it much harder to make judgments that you know, the statistics won’t be politicised. I’m going to look into it, but first impression is that you can’t really make the numbers different or better by firing the people doing the counting.”; [my]; -Senator Rand Paul (R), KY
