The new year began on a violent note, as a terror attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans left at least 14 dead and dozens injured. The suspect, reportedly inspired by ISIS, used firearms and an improvised explosive device.
The FBI bizarrely hesitated to immediately label it as terrorism. Meanwhile, a potential terror attack also unfolded in Las Vegas, where a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump Hotel. These incidents highlight America’s vulnerabilities and the need for strong leadership in federal law enforcement. As such, many were calling on the swift confirmation of Trump’s nominees to lead the Justice Department and the FBI.
“After what appears to potentially be an ISIS inspired terrorist attack last night in New Orleans, it's even more vital that we quickly confirm all of President Trump’s nominees,” freshman Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) said New Year’s Day. “Every single national security nominee should be confirmed & ready to protect America by January 20th.”
Well, despite the legitimate concerns, it looks like Democrats are prepared to stall Trump’s nominees. On Sunday, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) stated on CNN’s “State of the Union” that there is no need to rush the confirmation of President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director. Klobuchar bizarrely argued that the FBI is “very functional” and does not require immediate leadership changes in light of these events.
“In light of the New Orleans terrorist attack, Trump allies are urging you and your colleagues in the Senate to move quickly on confirming the president elect’s national security team,” began host Jake Tapper. “You have signaled some opposition to Kash Patel serving as leader of the FBI but Republicans say delaying his confirmation will hurt operational security. How do you respond to that?”

The head of the FBI is a conspiracy theorist and publicly stated Trump was not shot, merely injured by shrapnel!
