NO to Bondi & Hegseth, NO unqualified persons with reputation of sex misconduct
To: Sen. Collins, Sen. King
From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME
November 24
Please:
You must insist that Trump sign ethics forms and that his nominees undergo FBI background checks.
Remember what happened to the tip about Bret Kavanaugh? Don't let that happen again.
Pam Bondi is egregiously unsuited to be AG. Her prior connections to Trump rule her out. Say no.
Hegseth has no appropriate experience and has a reputation for sexual misconduct.
Even if the president is a felon and a rapist, I say NO to any cabinet nominee with even a reputation for sexual harassment.
Senator Collins should especially reflect how History will judge and damn her if she objected-- as indeed she did-- to highly qualified Biden nominees who had tweeted mean things about her and then gives the nod to individuals who are cosy with Putin, have a shady history of sexual impropriety, have previously been connected in inappropriate ways with Trump.
Do NOT act as if "advise and consent" means you do no have a voice. You must reject every unqualified grifting nominee of I'll repute.
Also: we are on the brink of climate emergency. DO let Trump stuff climate change deniers, anti vaxxers and the like into positions of influence. Your choices now are your legacy. DO NOT succumb to peer pressure like some naive teenager. Just say NO and NO again to the troop of laughably unqualified nominees.
