Historically, when a president nominates such terrible people to positions of power, the Senate has stood as a check on the executive no matter which president, Democrat or Republican, was in charge. But not this Senate majority, not this Republican Party. Senate Republicans continue to bend the knee to Donald Trump. and give him practically any nominee that he wants. No matter how awful they are. They support these nominees no matter how unqualified they are, no matter how partisan they are, no matter how unethical they are, no questions asked. (06:13–06:17)
