Sens. John Fetterman and Martin Heinrich crossed party lines to confirm Mullin 54-45, while Republican Rand Paul voted no.

Democratic Senators John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Martin Heinrich of New Mexico crossed party lines to support the nomination, while Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky was the sole GOP member to vote against it. Senator Ruben Gallego, Democrat of Arizona, did not vote.

Absolutely and utterly pathetic Democratic leadership and honestly party members that could justify voting in such a incompetent and lying candidate.

    Heinrich, in a statement released Sunday: “This is going to surprise some people, but I consider Markwayne Mullin a friend. We have a very honest and constructive working relationship. We have authored legislation together, such as the Tribal Buffalo Management Act, and we crafted the Legislative Branch Appropriations bill together this year. We often disagree and when we do, we work to find whatever common ground we share.”

    Same shit Biden used to fall for.

    They’re only your friend when they’re weak enough to need your help.
