Sherrod Brown is a hypocrite for obstructing Trump’s nominees

Published



Meet Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio. He is one of 10 incumbent Democratic senators up for re-election in 2018 in a state President-elect Trump won in the 2016 general election. Brown announced he will oppose the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., for attorney general. Brown joins other angry Senate Democrats in an attempt to obstruct Trump’s nominees.

But here’s another thing about Brown: He likes to talk, particularly on cable news programs like the “Rachel Maddow Show” on MSNBC. On that show in 2009, Brown had a very different point of view on confirming the nominees of a new president who was just elected along with a Senate and a House of Representatives of the same party.
