"Dems Tear Into Trump’s NASA Nominee" [1]

"Senate Democrats repeatedly tore into President Trump’s pick to lead NASA at a Wednesday confirmation hearing.

Democrats on the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee repeatedly argued that Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.) is unqualified to lead the nation’s space agency due to what they said was his climate change skepticism, opinions on homosexuality, scant experience in science and other issues.

The raucous hearing laid bare Bridenstine’s political history, including his accusations against Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) during his presidential campaign and his criticism of former President Barack Obama."

Timothy Cama reports for The Hill November 1, 2017. [2]
