White House Warns RINO Senators of “Consequences” for Holding up, Voting Against, Nominees

Donald Trump is staffing his administration to implement his America First agenda, and is warning Republican U.S. Senators that he will not be stopped in that mission as several critical nominations come before the United States Senate.

Even though Donald Trump also won a resounding victory in 2016, his nominees before were rejected by the then Republican-controlled U.S. Senate repeatedly. Already, Trump’s nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz was withdrawn due to Senate opposition.

Learning from those setbacks, the Trump White House has warned the Republicans-in-Name Only in the U.S. Senate that they will face “consequences” if they attempt to prevent Trump from seating the government he was given a mandate in this past election to create.

The next week features several high-profile Trump nominations coming up before the U.S. Senate, controlled by a 53-47 margin by the Republicans:

  • Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services secretary, and

  • Kash Patel for FBI director.

Kennedy has a hearing before the Senate on Wednesday, and Patel has a hearing on Thursday.

A senior White House official was quoted by NBC News as saying about Republican Senators, “It’s pass-fail. You either support everyone or you don’t. The Senate needs to advise and consent, not advise and adjust.”

The unnamed official warned that outside pressure groups are ready to support the President’s nominees and will ‘exact consequences’ to those who obstruct the President’s key nominations.
