This Senator/Whip/magat John BARRASSO was *chilling* about what's coming, as if we didn't know [View all]

This creep had gotten past my radar until now, this morning on Face the Nation. Googling says senate/Wyoming, 2007, frequent pal with Kari LAKE - *doctor* (why Rand PAUL, some jerk from Oklahoma, doctors being wingnuts? ). He came across as menacing, threatening, with the full blush of retribution on him and the bedside manner of MENGELE. Not that all of us don't know what's coming, but I got literal chills of dread

.... MARGARET BRENNAN: Do you expect, though, that Congress and Republicans will still help these Americans in need, even if they don't like their local politics in the party?

SEN. BARRASSO: I expect that there will be strings attached to money that is ultimately approved, and it has to do with being ready the next time, because this was a gross failure this time.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Senator, let me move on to what's happening this week. Because you are the whip. You are the vote counter. You are watching very closely what these hearings for these picks made by Donald Trump will be like. Starting Tuesday, 13 of the picks are going to be up for questioning. Leader Thune told us last Sunday, he suspects a lot we'll get through, but we'll see about all of them. Which nominees are you certain will be confirmed by January 20?

SEN. BARRASSO: Well, let's start with- we were elected- Republicans are now in the House, the Senate and the White House, because Americans wanted safety and prosperity. So you're right, the rubber hits the road this week with all of these hearings on the cabinet, and then when President Trump takes office next Monday, there is going to be shock and awe with executive orders. A blizzard of executive orders on the economy, as well as on the border. So, when we met with President Trump, just- earlier this past week, what President Trump said the number one goal for the Senate needs to be to get his team in place. I've met with just about all of them. I support every one of these nominees. As the whip, my job is to make sure they get across the finish line. Get on the job, and President Trump deserves a team early. Chuck Schumer said he wants to make fireworks at the hearings. If that happens, we are going to work around the clock, through the night, through weekends to make sure we get that cabinet confirmed. ....
