John Thune Slams Dems After No Civilian Noms Confirmed By Unanimous Consent After Nearly 8 Months

Published | Video Starts at 05:28

Either the Democrats are going to play ball, or we're going to figure out a way to change it. We can't have a federal government. By the way, There are 1,100 executive branch nominations, which in my view is way too many to start with, that have to come through the Senate for confirmation. 1100 of them, many of whom, at this rate, aren't going to get in their jobs before President Trump leaves office. You just can't do this. This isn't a sustainable practice. (05:28–05:39)
