He also lacks a law enforcement at any level background. I'm going to be credentialist on this one.

I don't care who that offends. People need to stop pretending that in some jobs - especially this one - education and employment history matter.

If this guy makes it past the Senate - I'm going to Triple down on repealing the Homeland Security Act.

Repeal, Replace and Build Back Better.
