MSNBC analyst Michael Steele on Sunday warned in opposition to President Donald Trump’s picks for high-level authorities positions.
“The three nominees this week are simply wholly unqualified,” mentioned Steele, the previous chair of the Republican Nationwide Committee. “The truth that we have now now in entrance of us is somebody who’s a menace to our nationwide safety in Tulsi Gabbard, somebody who’s a menace to our homeland safety in Kash Patel, and somebody who’s a menace to our well being in RFK Jr.”
The three are Trump’s picks for director of nationwide intelligence, FBI director and Well being and Human Providers secretary, respectively. They’re set for Senate affirmation hearings later this week.
Steele informed Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) that he would “block each final one in all them” if he had a vote.
Blunt Rochester revealed a key query she’s requested of the nominees she’s met with one-on-one.
“If the president is saying or doing one thing or proposing one thing that you just assume is unhealthy for this nation, will you communicate up?” she mentioned.
“What’s their reply?” Steele requested.
“Some have mentioned, ‘Oh sure, I’ll communicate up. I’ll observe the regulation,’” she recalled.
“They’re mendacity,” Steele mentioned. “They’re mendacity.”
