Carbajal on Trump’s Cabinet: ‘We Should All Be Alarmed’
Santa Barbara’s Representative-Elect Doesn’t Hold Back
In unusually forceful language, Representative-elect Salud Carbajal condemned Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees this week, maintaining that a president elected with a minority of votes seems intent on tearing down the federal government.
“It is scary,” Carbajal said in an interview with the Independent on Monday. “I’m alarmed. We should all be alarmed.
“We should be alarmed that somebody that so many high profile Republicans and Democrats dubbed unfit to serve is serving. We should all be very alarmed…at the appointments he’s making, right-wing appointments. We should all be alarmed that he is rebuffing 17 U.S. intelligence agencies that have come out and said unequivocally Russia interfered with our election.”
