(CNSNews) - The White House complained Tuesday that Senate Democrats have been obstructing President Donald Trump’s nominees, saying the Senate has confirmed the fewest nominees compared to the previous four administrations.
“Before taking your questions today, I want to take a moment to highlight the historic obstruction by Senate Democrats -- an issue that represents a threat to America’s interests and security. Compared to the four previous administrations, this Senate has confirmed the fewest nominees,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during the press briefing.
Sanders said the tactics of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) “have led to 73 fewer confirmations than the next closest administration.”
“Half of President Trump’s nominees are still waiting for confirmation in the Senate. The obstruction is so out of control, even some Senate Democrats believe it is inappropriate. Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, said, ‘I don't believe we should be holding nominees hostage…Enough is enough. We need people who are qualified to fill these important positions in our government,’” the press secretary said.

"The obstruction is so out of control, even some Senate Democrats believe it is inappropriate."
Milk came out my nose.
Results in part because so many now see the corruption, also due to exposing and monitoring corrupt voting schemes. Yes...all by democrat communist progressives.
But it was ok to block Obama nominees. Can we stop the nonsense on both sides?
