Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, also said she will vote against Blanche’s nomination, and Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., remains undecided.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, came out Friday against Donald Trump’s pick of Todd Blanche for attorney general, leaving the nomination hanging by a thread.
Murkowski joins fellow centrist Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, to oppose the president’s choice. With Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., out indefinitely, and Democrats expected to vote no, a third GOP opponent would block the nomination for the powerful job.
Despite the “numerous constructive meetings” she’s had with Blanche, Murkowski said in a statement, “I will oppose his nomination.”
It most assuredly is part of the problem.
Yes, there are younger folks with criminal minds and/or stupid ideas in politics as well but this gerontocracy has a lot of people deciding on things they don’t have the fuckingest clue about.
Nope, not buying that for instant. I refuse to fall into the ageism trap.
