And the new pie hole.....who should be expelled...



Hawley says he'll block Biden nominees until Cabinet secretaries resign

By Josh Israel -September 14, 2021 5:30 PM

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) called President Joe Biden 'a disgrace' and called for his resignation as well.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) announced Tuesday that he plans to obstruct every single one of President Joe Biden's nominations for positions in the State and Defense departments.

Speaking on the floor of the Senate, Hawley called Biden "a disgrace" in remarks on the departure of U.S. troops and civilians from Afghanistan in August and demanded that the president resign: "Joe Biden is responsible for today's failure and not there must be accountability. Instead, the president's team is even now coming to Capitol Hill blaming others, shirking responsibility. That's cowardly. And I, for one, am not willing to look the other way.

"So let me be clear: I will not consent to the nomination of any nominee for the Department of Defense or for the Department of State until Secretary [of Defense Lloyd] Austin and Secretary [of State Antony] Blinken and [national security adviser] Jake Sullivan resign," Hawley continued. "Leaders take responsibility for their failures."
