MSNBC: Spox for Ben Sasse Blasts Trump’s Pick for Ambassador to Barbados

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: "A spokesperson for Republican Senator Ben Sasse ripped President Trump’s pick to serve as U.S. ambassador to Barbados. Trump’s nominee Leandro Rizzuto had reportedly shared conspiracy theories about Trump’s political opponents including Ted Cruz, Mitt Romney, Scott Walker, and John Kasich, during the 2016 presidential election. Yesterday in a statement Sasse’s spokesperson said, quote, 'Mr. Rizzuto should feel free to put on his tinfoil hat and visit our office with evidence for his salacious conspiracy theories and cuckoo allegations. While he's at it, the Senate probably needs to know his views on the moon landing. ... I’m sure Senator Sasse will be willing to evaluate the specific evidence for his claims -- but it’s got to be more than a stack of National Enquirers. ... Cynics and nuts are probably going tp have a hard time securing Senate confirmation.' Last month, Rizzuto a Conair executive will face Senate confirmation. If confirmed, he will also serve as ambassador to St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis."
