Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., a prominent ally of Donald Trump, said voters don't care who conducts background checks into the president-elect's Cabinet picks and that Trump would fire members of his administration who don't follow the policy he sets out.
In an interview with "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl, Hagerty lambasted the records of some of President Joe Biden's Cabinet members and insisted that Trump will command compliance from top members of his upcoming administration.
Name-checking Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for the bloody withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, Hagerty said, They've not been held to account.
"President Trump will fire people that don't do their job well. I fully expect everybody coming into the Cabinet will listen to President Trump. They'll let him set the policy, and they'll execute according to that plan."

Karl, the host, started off the show by declaring that proposed cabinet appointees were among the most ideologically diverse of cabinets and there was racial diversity as well. He praised Gabbard & JFKjr as Democrats/former Democrats. WTF?
Jasmine Crockett was a guest later in the show. She provided a voice of reason and reality.
Thankfully, my car was finally ready and I escaped the waiting room TV.
