Rep. Bill Keating (D-MA) was livid during Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s appearance before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, eventually descending into a back-and-forth with the secretary and feuding with the chairman over time.
The Massachusetts representative began with heaps of praise for Rubio’s history in the Senate, calling him one of the “most respected and knowledgeable people” in the intelligence community, trusted by “Democrats and Republicans alike.” He contrasted this experience with Bill Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency director and chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, who was appointed on Tuesday as acting director of national intelligence.
