Political Quotes

“for 9 long months, the Senate Democrats have waged an unprecedented effort to slow down the Senate and to delay the President from getting his team on the field. It has been an unprecedented blockade. President Trump was elected to get America back on track, and that means getting the team on the job. So what did Chuck Schumer, who just spoke here on the Senate floor, have to say? Well, he put out a press release in August, and he said that ``historically bad nominees''--his words--``deserve a historic level of scrutiny.'' You see, he has treated every nominee from President Trump as controversial, and he has treated every nominee as an existential threat to our Nation. If Senator Schumer and Senate Democrats have specific concerns with specific nominees, they should come down to the Senate floor and discuss them and share their concerns with the American people. That is not what is happening. Here are the facts: Senate Republicans have confirmed now 109 sub-Cabinet nominees. Now, that is in addition to the Cabinet that we have confirmed and the judges that we have confirmed. Every single one of those 109 sub-Cabinet nominees has been filibustered by the Democrats. Yet only seven of them received more than 10 minutes of debate on the Senate floor.”
