Todd Blanche Metropolitan Club resistance
Definition
A recent Washington, D.C., social scandal referring to the formal objections submitted by at least six members of the elite Metropolitan Club against the membership application of Todd Blanche, Acting U.S. Attorney General under President Trump.
The resistance stems from concerns over Blanche's polarizing reputation, his role in a combative Justice Department targeting judges, nonprofits, universities, and institutions represented by club members, clashing with the club's tradition of nonpartisan congeniality.
