Patty Murray Scolds Lamar Alexander: ‘We Remain Deeply Disappointed’ About the Betsy DeVos Hearing

EXCERPT:

MURRAY: "Before I speak about this nominee I -- I do want to say that we remain deeply disappointed in last night where Democrats were blocked from asking more than one round of questions on Betsy DeVos who is nominee for secretary of education and are disappointed that we're rushing this hearing as well. Mr. Chairman, you said seven minutes but I will just say I don't think any of us in prior nominees that you keep pointing to ever thought if I don't ever -- I don't ask for another question I have just set a precedent. I -- in fact, I think that there is no example of any senator asking to do a question before and being turned down."
