Sen. Ted Cruz Announces He Will Put Holds on Biden Nominees Wendy Sherman and Brian McKeon

EXCERPT:

CRUZ: "I'm opposing Wendy Sherman and I would urge colleagues on both sides of the aisle to oppose Wendy Sherman because she is nominated to this position precisely because she was the leading champion, the face of, the negotiator of the disastrous Iran deal. And it is this administration's stated intention to try to go back to that failed deal. And so I believe anyone casting a vote for Wendy Sherman is simultaneously casting a vote for the policies for which she is being nominated, the policies that are profoundly dangerous to America, to Israel, to our allies, so I'm going to be voting no. I will be voting yes on Mr. McKeon, although with both of them, I am placing holds on their going to the floor until the administration does more on Nord Stream 2, and this is another topic this committee has talked about at great length, this committee's leadership and the bipartisan sanctions bill that Senator Shaheen and I have passed twice now, two different versions with the support of the members of this committee.”
