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

Sen. Corker in order to move on, first of all we are back in session, and in order to move on, senator udall, we will move on to you. Sen. Udall thank you very much. I appreciate the hearing. I would like to put in the record the letter from the five ambassadors if it hasnt already been put in the record, Bipartisan Group of ambassadors that say that mr. Friedman is unfit to be ambassador. Sen. Corker without objection. Sen. Udall and im in agreement with much of what they said. Im strongly opposed to this nominee. I believe secretary tillerson and President Trump should recognize that mr. Friedman is unfit for this or any other Diplomatic Office and withdraw him immediately. If not, i strongly recommend this committee not recommend him for confirmation. Mr. Friedman does not represent American Values in the region. That is evident from his past statements, and they are not random, offthecuff remarks. Much of his offensive rhetoric has been reported in the newspapers and repeated over
