"“[US Senatory from Alabama,] Tommy Tuberville (audio voiceover): Who are we to say that we’re a better vetter and picker of people than Donald Trump? CNN’s Manu Raju (audio voiceover): Isn’t that your job? Advice and consent. That’s your job [in these Senate hearings]. Tuberville (audio voiceover): Advice and consent, but that’s more the Democrats. Donald Trump did all the vetting they needed to do on Pete Hegseth. And I just can’t believe we even have people on our side saying, Well, I’ve got to look at this, I’ve got to look at that. What they’re doing is they’re throwing rocks at Donald Trump. They’re not throwing them at Pete Hegseth. They’re throwing them at Donald Trump because they’re saying, Well, we don’t believe you did the right vetting, and we don’t believe he can do the job. Wait a minute, that’s not our job to do that.” (12/5/2024) (Transcript of an interview between Tuberville & CNN reporter Manu Raju, quoted in Greg Sargent 12/6/2024. *Trump’s Cabinet of Sex Abusers Is Blowing Up in His Face*. transcript online. https://newrepublic.com/article/189102/transcript-trumps-cabinet-sex-abusers-blowing-face)"
