Virginia Senator Tim Kaine joined Chuck Todd this morning on Meet The Press to discuss the chaos going on in the White House. One of the biggest points was when Kaine actually said that his office and others are getting slammed with phone calls imploring them to resist Trump’s nominees. Clearly, they are listening, they are getting our calls and are taking our concerns seriously.
Please keep calling your senators. Here is a link to the entire list of Senate members: http://ift.tt/2ixwh0g
Please keep calling, no matter what their political party. Many Republicans are feeling the heat from their more moderate constituents against some of the blatantly unqualified Trump nominees. In some cases, we only need 3 GOP to switch sides to prevent dangerous cabinet members from being approved (like DeVos).
Another huge moment was when Kaine and Todd talked about the omission of the word “Jew” from the Holocaust Remembrance Statement. Kaine actually went there, calling them “Holocaust deniers”, which was a ‘drop-the-mic’ moment. Note, Todd didn’t say a word to defend the White House. Considering the views of many in the White House (Bannon, Flynn, etc) it is a fairly reasonable expectation that they are anti-Semitic Holocaust deniers. But to SAY it openly, that’s bold.
