Republicans continue to express their displeasure at the appointment of Ron Klain as Ebola czar.
“We were hopeful we were going to have someone who had the experience, not only from the medical community, but in emergency response,” Republican Marsha Blackburn said on “Face the Nation.”
Klain — former chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden — now has to lead both the United States and the “entire globe” in the fight against Ebola, the Republican from Tennessee said, wondering if Klain’s the right person for the job.
“We don’t want somebody to give us a spin, we want somebody to give us the facts,” Blackburn said.
Blackburn also expressed her frustration with the Harry Reid-led Senate for leaving House bipartisan bills on his desk to sign.
“The Senate has not been able to get the work done,” the congresswoman said, speaking specifically to the failure of the Senate to confirm a new surgeon general.
