Cruz: I Hope Dems Don’t Play Politics with Nat’l Security Appointments and Confirm Pompeo

RUSH EXCERPT:
CRUZ: "To the surprise of nobody, we’re seeing politics in Washington. The vote is expected later this afternoon. There’s a good chance that every Democrat will vote in a party line vote against Mr. Pompeo. If they do that, that would be unfortunate. Just over a year ago, the Senate confirmed Mike Pompeo to be CIA director. He had 66 votes. 14 Democrats vote to confirm him. This is a man that graduated from westpoint, served his name and been the CIA director and as we look at this attack in Toronto, we don’t know the details yet but underscored what a dangerous world we’re in and we need a strong secretary of state in place. So I hope the Democrats don’t play politics with national security appointments but instead confirm Mike Pompeo."
