Bipartisan group of ambassadors that say he is unfit to be ambassador. I agree with much of what they said. I am strongly opposed of this nominee and believe President Trump and tillerson should recognize he is unfit and withdraw him under immediately. If not, i strongly recommend the committee does not appoint him. His past statements are not random off the cut remarks. Much of his insulting rhetoric has been reported in the newspapers and repeated over and over. He has called for an arbitrary ban on many muslims entering the country. Mr. Freedman has stated muslims should submit internet and telecommunication for inspection and he said i quote no need to worry about the First Amendment and he said the First Amendment doesnt apply to the muslims entering our country. Just lack week, a colleague was made to hush. We should look at mr. Freedmans words which i think were mentioned by mr. Cardin and i agree with him talking about rejecting these comments. He has insulted and denigrated me
