(CNN) President Donald Trump's top economic adviser reaffirmed the administration's support for Stephen Moore as his vetting for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors continues. Larry Kudlow, speaking to reporters on Wednesday, said, "We continue to back Stephen Moore, continue to back him." Earlier this week, CNN's KFile reported that Moore had written in columns for the National Review that women should be banned from refereeing, announcing or beer vending at men's college basketball games. He also criticized female athletes advocating for pay equality, writing that they wanted "equal pay for inferior work." I have a sense of humor," Moore said in an email to CNN.
