GOP Changes Rules To Push Through Nominees After Democrats Refuse To Show Up

Democrats Refuse To Show Up, So Republicans Change The Rules

On Wednesday Senate Republicans decided to push through two of President Trump’s after the Democrats refused to even show up. Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, a Republican from Utah, said that the Democrats who decided not to show up “are idiots.”

Since not a single Democrat showed up the 14 Republicans that attended decided to move the Mnuchin and Price nominations to the full Senate.

From The Hill:

By unanimous consent, the Republicans gathered in the hearing room agreed to change the committee’s standing rules, which normally require at least one member of each party to be in attendance for committee work to proceed.
