Anti-jobs commerce secretary approved in wee hours
Sen. Inhofe had tried to block Bryson’s nomination because of his radical anti-growth, anti-energy past but Harry Reid pushed it through in the wee hours along with some other nefarious bills.
Twenty-one clueless Republican RINO’s joined all the Democrats and two independents to confirm Bryson. The RINO’s should get sent packing in the next election.
Here is the vote tally on Bryson. Call your senator at 202-224-3121 and tell them they should be ashamed if they voted yes and encourage them if they voted no.
