Senator-elect Bernie Moreno (R-OH) calls for expedited confirmation of President-elect Trump's nominees following a suspected terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
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 (R-OH) said on Wednesday.
After what appears to potentially be an ISIS inspired terrorist attack last night in New Orleans, it’s even more vital that we quickly confirm all of President Trump’s nominees,” Moreno said, stressing that “every single national security nominee should be confirmed & ready to protect America by January 20th” — the day Trump is sworn in for his second term.as one of Trump’s most ardent defenders and has made it clear that the American people have given Trump a mandate. “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. “There’s never been a worse cabinet in American history than Joe Biden’s cabinet, and yet not one Democratic senator said peep about whether this person was qualified or not—people Mayor Pete , Jake Sullivan, Mayorkas– all just grossly unqualified people and terrible disasters.

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 Nol
