Republicans on the Senate Commerce Committee, led by Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), have still not moved forward on the nomination hearing of Nathan Simington, President Trump’s proposed new member of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC).

Tucker was fuming about this tonight. He says it looks like the Senate GOP is stalling in hopes they can confirm a Biden appointee in January.

Does GOP stand for Google-Owned Party?

“ President Trump has urged Sen. Wicker to move forward on a hearing, but the Commerce Committee, despite being controlled by Republicans, has still not announced a hearing.”

Trump tweeted:: “Republicans need to get smart and confirm Nate Simington to the FCC ASAP!” said the President earlier this week. “@SenatorWicker thank you!” “

“ Bush League Republicans have been obstructing President Trump since Inauguration Day.”

Yes, unfortunately he hasn’t fought back as hard as he could. He could have supported primary opponents against a few of them - to scare the rest of them straight. Instead, he’s let Mitch and crew call the shots more often than not

“....Does GOP stand for Google-Owned Party?...”

GOPe = RAT = DS = UniParty = Communist.
Sure. They all wear different hats, say different things, but their goals and agenda are ALL THE SAME.

They’re NOT dumb; they’re corrupt and willing to betray their constituents for a mere ounce of “palm grease”!

How many millions pf dollars has Google paid into the Swiss bank account of this Sen. Roger Wicker? It just doesn’t make sense otherwise.

If I lived in Mississippi I would call Senator Wicker and ask him why he’s slow walking the nomination.

They are not stupid. They know exactly what they are doing. They prefer Democrats and their progressive policies to POTUS and the MAGA agenda. It’s that simple.

People, do you think The Swamp is comprised solely of Dems? This guy likely has his coffers filled with Tech money. And, he is protecting his benefactors.
His attitude is to Hell with the American People. I’m waiting and hoping for a Biden win. If Biden wins my Gravy Train continues.
So, I’ll just sit on my hands for 4 weeks and see how this plays out.

One of the great lessons of the Age of Trump is never support a U. S. Senator for POTUS. Period. The U. S. Senate is the absolute bottom of the beltway sewer and it is not even close.
