Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
The US and Israel have bombed at least 13 hospitals and health facilities in Iran and one in Lebanon.
Even Raja had the decency to vote no.
Quigley: “Hey, I know these guys are committing war crimes, but their reason for it is correct”
