If anyone thought Bob Casey might finally show some independence today on CIA Director Mike Pompeo’s confirmation as Secretary of State: think again.
Instead, Casey doubled down on his party’s blind obstructionism, voting to block Mike Pompeo’s confirmation as Secretary of State, and put loyalty to his liberal Democratic bosses above the national security interests of the nation. While such a favor to Chuck Schumer may pay off with the “resisters” and the radical left-wing base, Pennsylvania voters will most assuredly be turned off by such thoughtless partisan antics.
“By refusing to stand up to his liberal party bosses — even on issues of national security – Bob Casey proved all his talk of independent leadership is a total fraud,” said NRSC Spokesman Bob Salera. “If Casey is going to put his loyalty to the extreme left over the security concerns of our nation, he should just save the voters some trouble and start packing up his office now.”
