Thom Tillis on Todd Blanche’s Confirmation: ‘Anybody Who Condone’ the Thugs that Attacked the Capitol ‘Will Not Get My Vote’

TILLIS: “Well, I have not looked into the details of Mr. Blanche. On the whole, I‘ve had good reaction or interactions with him, but I am not going to have situational principles if I go back and I examine any nominee‘s record. Mr. Blanche just being one of them. Um, then I‘m going to make the same decision that I made with Ed Martin and with Joe Kent. I‘m not going to support their confirmation going through Judiciary Committee. I have allowed some U.S. attorneys out in other states that my members have asked me to clear. I would never allow them in the D.C. Jurisdiction or in big DoJ. Um, it look, the I was there. It‘s very personal to me for people who sat in there in the comfort of their living room and watched the events of January the 6th, they weren‘t there. They weren‘t in the chamber. They didn‘t see the police officers that were injured. They didn‘t see the damage to the building. There is no excuse for that. If you happen to be an unwitting, uh, tourist, so-called tourist, as Tucker Carlson called them, who walked into the chamber or walked into the building after it was damaged. Maybe I‘ll give you a break after you paid a fine and served some time. But these thugs that entered police officers and anybody who condoned their behavior will not get my vote.”
