GOP senators need to 'find a backbone' when it comes to Trump's Cabinet nominees: lawmaker

Raw Story  

Rep. Pat Ryan issued a dire warning to CNN's Alex Marquardt about the dangers of confirming Tulsi Gabbard as Donald Trump's director of national intelligence — and urged Senate Republicans to step up and do what's right. "I want to ask you about another national security pick, Tulsi Gabbard, former Democrat, former Democrat from the House, a very unorthodox choice for the director of national intelligence," said Marquardt, playing a clip of Sen. James Lankford expressing his own misgivings about the choice. "Well, these aren't just concerns of Democrats," said Ryan, a former Army captain in the Military Intelligence Corps during the Iraq War. "Are we going to see these Republicans that seem to be dodging, in the Senate, giving actual answers, find a backbone and do what's right, not as partisans, but as patriots?"
