So, who is this guy and why does he have so many Dims nervous?
He’s a GOP Rep from northeast Texas. He ran his own law firm before GW Bush made him Chief of Anti-terrorism and national security for the Eastern District of Texas. That includes Texarkana. He then ran for office and beat a 17-term incumbent. And, in 2018, he won reelection with near 76% of the vote.
He’s a strong conservative and took Comey to task during committee hearings. He then tore into Mueller during that hearing.
He’s hawkish on Iran.
He supports prohibiting immigration from predominantly Muslim countries.
He is for term limits.
He’s strong on cybersecurity and was for repealing net neutrality.
He supports the president on the Russian probe.
He’s happily married with 2 daughters.
Ratcliffe has been instrumental in exposing the FBI abuses under the Obama regime, including withholding evidence from the FISA court, and the fact that 159 judges were surveilled and monitored!
