FW: Maybe Slotkin should sit this one out

The Michigan Advance re-upped an interview Elissa Slotkin gave last month when she said: “What concerns me right now is that it is totally unclear what our strategy is.“

So re-upping her interview with then-Senator John McCain who asked Slotkin multiple times to outline her strategy during her failed confirmation hearing (exchange begins at 2:45:40): 

—

Senator McCain: “We don’t have a strategy?”
 
Ms. Slotkin: “I don’t think that–that’s not what I’m saying, sir.”  

Senator McCain: “Tell me what the strategy is.”
 
Ms. Slotkin: “Our strategy against ISIL is, first and foremost, to defeat that organization across both of our…”
 
Senator McCain: “That’s an objective. That’s not a strategy.”
 
Ms. Slotkin: “Uh-huh. So our strategy…I mean, if you’re asking what our goals are in Syria…”
 
Senator McCain: “I’m not asking what the goals are. I’m asking what the strategy is.”
 
Ms. Slotkin: “Our strategy is to defeat ISIL, to…”

Senator McCain: “I just repeated, that’s a goal, that’s not a strategy.”

Yikes. No wonder she got turned down for the job!
 

Hi –
 
Elissa Slotkin, who was passed up on numerous occasions for an assistant defense secretary position, boldly stated the Trump administration “does not have a clear strategy on Iran.”
 
That’s rich, given that Slotkin was tongue tied when then-Sen. McCain asked her to outline a strategy, which is at least one reason why she failed to get confirmed.
 
Presumably it’s also why McCain called her “totally unqualified.”
 
Given her lack of qualification and support for a deal that gives $150 billion to ISIS, Slotkin should probably sit this one out. [VIEW ONLINE]
