McConnell Says He Will Allow Biden's Cabinet Nominees a Hearing

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Bloomberg) -- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he will allow President-elect Joe Biden’s cabinet nominees to get consideration by the upper chamber.

Biden’s nominees “aren’t all going to pass on a voice vote, and they aren’t all going to make it, but I will put them on the floor,” McConnell said in an interview with Scott Jennings, a conservative commentator, published Monday in the Louisville Courier-Journal in McConnell’s home state of Kentucky.

In the interview conducted last week, McConnell said he didn’t intend to “bring the administration to its knees” the way he said that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer did by requiring cloture votes for many of President Donald Trump’s nominees to overcome filibusters.

“I am going to treat him a hell of a lot better than Chuck Schumer ever treated Donald Trump,” McConnell said of Biden. McConnell, as Republican leader, maintained an adversarial approach toward President Barack Obama, blocking his nominees and vowing to make him a one-term president.

8. "I am going to treat him a hell of a lot better than Chuck Schumer ever treated Donald Trump."

Uh, Moscow (may I call you Moscow?), YOU were majority for all four years of Trump’s reign. Schumer had nothing to say about whether Trump’s nominees got a hearing or a vote.

[lpbk2713]

9. He has no intention of approving.

It's just more obstructing by the obstructionists. Anything
that will waste time while Biden is the President.
