Mark Kelly: Jay Clayton Is ‘Not Qualified’ to Be Director of Nat’l Intelligence — ‘How Is He Going to Disagree with Him?’

‘And if you can’t do that when he’s not in the room, how are you going to do it when he is in the room?’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KELLY: “I also didn’t appreciate the answers he gave. You know, I asked some questions about the 2020 election. Not exactly like who won, but why was Joe Biden certified as the winner of the 2020 election? And it took him a while to get to, I guess maybe he got more electoral votes. Well, who gets more electoral votes? The winner or the loser? It was very hard to get them there. They they’re very they’re very concerned about what this president thinks of their answers. And if you can’t be honest in a room that doesn’t have the president in it, how are you going to how are you going to disagree with him when you’re sitting across the desk from him in the Oval Office or the Situation Room, how are you going to stand up to somebody where it is important to our safety and our national security, that you speak to him in a way that he can understand that, you know, maybe he’s wrong, maybe he is wrong here. And if you can’t do that when he’s not in the room, how are you going to do it when he is in the room? That’s the problem. I have.”
