Part 2/8:
Brennan began by questioning Vance about the unprecedented tie in Senate votes during the confirmation of Trump's nominee, Pete Heg, as Secretary of Defense. Vance argued that despite the narrow margin, the critical aspect was the confirmation itself, emphasizing, “suck it, Margaret,” as he dismissed her implications about the unity of the Republican Party. In his assertion, he pointed out that Republican Senators who opposed the nominee were simply performing their roles and that their opinions were irrelevant to the confirmation process.
