Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) revealed this week that Republican senators had developed a plan to confirm President-elect Donald Trump's nominations, including former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as attorney general, before the new president is sworn in.
During a Wednesday interview on Real America's Voice, Tuberville vowed to overcome the objections of Democrats despite sexual misconduct allegations against Gaetz and Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth.
"We're in charge, and if we back up, it's like this Matt Gaetz and Pete Hexeth, all these people that are being nominated," Tuberville said. "Hey, it should be a no-brainer. Prove to me he's a criminal. If you do, I won't vote for him. But until then, he's in."
Host Steve Bannon argued that Republican senators had to be ready to confirm Trump's nominations before his inauguration.
"And then on the 20th, you hit them with a third wave of flood the zone with executive orders and everything the president's going to do," Bannon opined. "Would you be supportive of that to get the confirmations of at least these frontline big things starting right after you guys are sworn in?"
"Oh, yeah. That'll be done. We've already planned that," Tuberville replied. "We're sworn in January 3rd, but I think it's a couple of days after that. But we should have the sec def, the attorney general, the secretary treasurer."And then this'll happen.
Tuberville is the dumbest man in D.C. Even when Trump is there. I’m beginning to worry about Ron.As I predicted months ago, the power of US government will be used to retaliate against our allies who dare to bother or annoy the shadow president. pic.twitter.com/oCuT6KlwxL

These clowns can’t do what they threaten to do. Why act like they can?
I remember when Gordon Humphrey, Sen. from NH was considered the stupidest member of the Senate but there are more than a few there now who would win the title from him. I remember when Dave Emery, House, ME 1st (shamefully, my district) was named the stupidest in the house, there are scores of stupider ones now.
