Sen. Cornyn on floor: Perez lacks “temperament & competence”

Senator John Cornyn joined the growing number of GOP Senators fighting the nomination of Tom Perez to be Labor Secretary.  From the Senate floor:


“Given his record, I’m concerned Mr. Perez does not have the temperament or the competence we need as Secretary of the Department of Labor. And I fear that just like he has at the Department of Justice, he would invariably politicize the Department of Labor and impose ideological litmus tests,” Cornyn said.
