McConnell: This Is ‘Selective Outrage’ by Schumer When It Comes to Trump’s Nominees

‘Senator Schumer would even complain about not having enough seats in the hearing room’

EXCERPT:

[clip starts]
SCHUMER: “The president-elect’s cabinet is a swamp cabinet full of billionaires and bankers that have conflicts of interest and ethical lapses as far as the eye can see.” 
[clip ends]
WALLACE: “What’s wrong with him saying this?” 
MCCONNELL: “Selective outrage. Jack Lew, the outgoing treasury secretary, had an account in the Cayman Islands. Geithner, who was the treasury secretary before him, failed to pay taxes. At that point, Schumer said, well, it’s just a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes. So, this kind of selective outrage against the kind of mistakes that people inherently make strikes me as just another delaying tactic. Senator Schumer would even complain about not having enough seats in the hearing room. These are all kind of manufactured reasons, Chris, to slow down the process, because they don’t want this administration to be treated like other administrations, and being given the opportunity to get up and get started.”
