Senator-elect Bernie Moreno (R-OH) calls for the rapid confirmation of President-elect Donald Trump's nominees in light of a potential ISIS-inspired terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Moreno emphasizes the importance of having national security personnel in place before Trump's second term begins on January 20th.
The Senate must confirm President-elect Donald Trump ’s nominees quickly after the likely terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans early New Year’s Day, Senator-elect Bernie Moreno said on Wednesday.
“So there’s a clear mandate—and unlike 2016, people understand exactly what President Trump’s agenda is and they are not confused or unclear about what President Trump will do once in office. There’s never been a more crystal clear ‘this is what Trump’s agenda is’—it’s black and white, laid out, and clear as can be,” he told Breitbart News in a December interview, noting that senators — Democrats, particularly — should not be slow and unfair in confirming Trump’s Cabinet nominees.
The incoming senator’s plea follows the horrific tragedy that unfurled in the early morning on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, as a suspect — nowby a law enforcement source as Shamsud Din Jabbar — plowed a pickup truck through a crowd of people, opening fire afterward. Police fatally shot him in the exchange of gunfire. According to Nola.com, the 42-year-old suspect was carrying an Islamic State in Iraq and Syria flag in the truck.to the attack at 3:17 a.m.
