Rachel Maddow:
Then he scheduled nomination hearings for a whole bunch of the people who weren’t pulled as nominees. But his transition couldn’t get itself together in time. For many of those confirmation hearings, they had scheduled themselves in coordination with the Senate, which their own party controls. And so a bunch of the early nomination hearings have had to be postponed. There so far is no nomination hearing set at all. For his FBI director nominee, who is the author of a series of children’s books about King Donald and who has supported the Qanon conspiracy theory that says that Democrats are secretly subterranean cannibals and aliens. There is no nomination hearing scheduled yet. For his health secretary nominee, who says HIV doesn’t cause AIDS, who says Wi-Fi causes something he calls leaky brain, and who says Covid was artificially engineered to spare the Jews. There’s no confirmation hearing scheduled as yet, for his director of National Intelligence nominee, who is Tulsi Gabbard. Perhaps enough said.
