PELLEY: “This past week, Republicans won the House majority and President-Elect Trump made nominations to his cabinet. Some nominees appear to have no compelling qualifications other than loyalty to Trump. The nominees are: Senator Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, Pete Hegseth to lead the three million people of the Department of Defense. He’s a combat veteran, most recently a morning show host on Fox News with no government experience. Former Congressman Matt Gaetz for Attorney General in charge of law enforcement, Gaetz has been investigated by Republicans for alleged drug use and sex with a minor. Gaetz denies those allegations, Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence. She sought a pardon for Edward Snowden who leaked U.S. secrets and now lives in Russia. And Robert Kennedy Jr. For Secretary of Health and Human Services, a skeptic of vaccinations. It’s up to the new Republican majority in the Senate to decide whether these nominees are equipped to represent the American people.”
