00:00
Today, Senate Republicans will confirm Rodney Scott as Commissioner of the U.S. Customs and
00:05
Border Protection, or CPB.
00:07
It's hard to imagine a worse, more unqualified, more dangerous choice to lead the CPB in this
00:14
moment than Mr. Scott.
00:16
His lack of experience alone is enough to disqualify him from the position.
00:21
But there's even more.
00:23
During his time at the Border Patrol, Mr. Scott was directly implicated in the alleged cover-up
00:28
of the death of someone in Border Patrol custody.
00:33
These are the people Donald Trump seems to like, people who break the law, they somehow,
00:37
he likes that.
00:40
And there's another one.
00:42
When pressed by the committee about these allegations, Mr. Scott describes his actions as routine.
00:49
Cover up the death of someone who was in custody, that's routine.
00:54
This is sick.
00:55
This is a person who may have covered up the death of someone in the Border Patrol
00:58
custody.
00:59
And now Republicans want to put him in charge of border security.
01:04
No one who allegedly covered up a wrongful death at the hands of law enforcement should
01:10
ever be named to a position of leadership.
01:12
The Senate should reject his nomination.
01:17
And while the Trump, and at a time when the Trump administration is snatching people off
01:21
the streets, conducting military-style raids across America, and demonizing immigrants,
01:27
Mr. Scott would be nothing more than a rubber stamp for some of Donald Trump's nastiest,
01:33
cruelest immigration policies.
01:36
No.
01:39
I note the absence of a letter.
01:44
What about president?
