Peter Navarro Fears ‘P*ssies in the Cabinet’ if Republicans Pick Wrong Senate Leader

Former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro warned President-elect Donald Trump could end up with “pussies in the cabinet” if Republicans pick the wrong Senate leader this week.

During an appearance on NewsNation’s Dan Abrams Live on Tuesday, Navarro said that if Senate Republicans “choose the right majority leader,” Trump would “have a clear path to putting in place the people who will fulfill his election mandate.”

He then warned, “If that’s not happening tomorrow, if John Thune or John Cornyn get control of the Senate like Mitch McConnell did, we’re not gonna have a Trump cabinet.”

“Oh, come on,” replied NewsNation host and Mediaite founder Dan Abrams. “The idea that John Thune or Cornyn won’t support a Trump– they might say no to someone like Kash Patel. They might say no to someone like Ken Paxton. Do you think Ken Paxton should be attorney general? Really?”

Navarro responded:

Dan, okay, you have to do your homework here. There’s 4,000 appointments that have to be fulfilled. A thousand of those are Senate confirmed – a thousand – and four years of Mitch McConnell, who was just the puppeteer for Thune and Cornyn, we didn’t get half of those! And it took 100 days to get 80% of the Trump cabinet. Just the secretaries. We didn’t get our deputies, undersecretaries, assistants, and it’s a big deal, Dan. So don’t tell me democracy is working when the party that holds the Senate, our party, gets in the way of appointments.

Abrams shot back, “Because the Senate shouldn’t have a role, according to your democracy, even though that’s what it says in the Constitution. They should ignore their role. You asked me to do my homework? That’s one thing I kind of did my homework on.”

Navarro then argued:

The Senate majority leader should be somebody who supports the Trump landslide. Look, the people of America have spoken now. They want an end to inflation, they want secure borders, they want mass deportations, they want all of that. They’re not gonna get it if you put pussies in the cabinet!

Abrams laughed before concluding, “Putting that aside for a minute, you can pick people who aren’t the word you just used and still aren’t Ken Paxton.”
