"people respect Markwayne"

[angrychair]

CNN's Kasie Hunt: Do you expect the confirmation of Markwayne Mullins to be bipartisan?

Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT): "Well, Markwayne is -- he's respected, he‘s honest and he‘s competent... people respect Markwayne."

Hunt: "Hmm, interesting."

Are you fucking kidding me?!? Absolutely gross. This is why Democrats have a reputation for being doormats. Absolutely unbelievable.

Mullins is an unhinged psychopath, college dropout and bootlicking sycophant.

There has probably never been a more unqualified person for a cabinet position since the last time Mango Mussolini was in office.

1. The moron will be confirmed, and ICE tactics will continue unchanged.

2. The Senate is a club

he will be confirmed because he is a senator. Doesn't matter if he is a moron or not.

Just like Rubio.

3. I predict an easy confirmation

It probably doesn’t even matter. Nothing is going to change in the Dept and Miller calls the policy shots anyhow.

5. Just called Welch's office

Reminded young woman that Mullins belittled Bernie Sanders at the Surgeon General hearings last week, told Bernie he didn't care about his opinions on health care. Reminded her Bernie had to stop Mullins from attacking the President of the Teamsters during a committee meeting. Pointed out that the man is a plumber and has no experience at anything related to Homeland Security. Also pointed out there is strong evidence that he is even more stupid than Tuberville or Marsha Blackburn.

Peter Welch needs to explain what competence Mullins has shown. Ridiculous!
