Johnson: Democrats ‘playing politics’ with FISA over Pulte appointment

Johnson said in a press conference Wednesday that it is “absolutely outrageous” that Democrats are suggesting that they would withhold their votes “because of an interim appointment that is the president’s choice to do.” “It is the most important intelligence tool that we have,” Johnson said of the foreign spy powers. “The idea that they would try to play politics right now because they don’t like the president’s choice of an appointment is absolutely stunning to me … These are not reasonable leaders over here. Pulte will replace Tulsi Gabbard, who left the post in recent weeks, saying she was caring for her husband who has a rare bone cancer.
