Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Sunday it is essential that President-elect Donald Trump initiate FBI background checks on his nominees.

“We require these background checks of DEA agents — drug enforcement agents. We require them of first-time prosecutors for the federal government. Why wouldn’t we get these background checks for the most important jobs in the United States government?” Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Trump largely finished his major picks with a string of choices Friday and the selection of Brooke Rollins for Agriculture on Saturday. Republican senators have enough votes to approve any Cabinet member without Democratic support, she emphasized, meaning any delay in confirmation would be due to Republican disagreement.

“In the end, it’s going to be the Republicans in the U.S. Senate, their decision about whether they want to put these people in place,” Klobuchar said. She added later: “They’ve got to get their background checks together, they’ve got to get qualified nominees and then we’re interested in doing the work of the American people.”

He put the rapists and Russia lovers in on purpose to hurt Americans and especially to hurt American women, the working class and the poor. He wants to tun us into a Russian satellite and is doing whatever Putin tells him to - or Putin will expose him as the traitor he is.
