NEW: Kris Kobach said Tuesday he is eager to become @realDonaldTrump’s Homeland Security secretary & confirmed he’s been in communication w/ White House. https://t.co/YHtvFgj0CD @dcexaminer— David M. Drucker (@DavidMDrucker) April 9, 2019

I hope this is fake news:

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/gop-kansas-senator-says-no-go-on-kobach-for-homeland-security-secretary-we-cant-confirm-him

"Sen. Pat Roberts has said that Kris Kobach, a fellow Kansan Republican, would not get the U.S. Senate votes needed for confirmation as secretary of homeland security.

Roberts, 82, warned on Tuesday against President Trump nominating Kobach for the position. Kobach is a hard-line conservative who defeated incumbent Gov. Jeff Coyler in a Republican primary but lost to a Democrat in the 2018 general election. He confirmed Tuesday that he has been in communication with the Trump administration about the homeland security job.

“Don’t go there. We can’t confirm him,” Roberts told the Kansas City Star when asked about Kobach Tuesday. “I never said that to you." ..."

I will be disgusted in my Senator Roberts if true.

How many Senate vermin would refuse to vote for Kobach?

If they can’t get votes, then they’ll be stuck with the acting head of DHS and they may find out he’s just as “hardline” as Kobach!

And in 2020 1/3 of the Senate vermin are up for re-election and may be some will be pressured to resign, I hope.
