when i read the statement from congresswoman velasquez, she in her bio has no experience whatsoever in running businesses. she has been, for decades, a career politician. before that, a college professor. i would say the woman that ran a very successful business has a leg up on this congresswoman that is running this committee on this very subject matter. >> is seems like people keep hanging themselves by jumping to bash whoever donald trump puts out there without thinking it through or without thinking about the ramifications. for example ian milheiser. this is a tweet, i'm sure the governor of a small, rural landlocked state full of people will know a whole lot about china and stuff. this was related to another pick that trump made when he was talking about his ambassador to china. >> he has be clowned himself several times on twitter in the last few weeks. it may be time for a breather from twitter. in his defense, he did rescind the criticism because terry branstad, he has a long standing relationship with the chinese, and two of president obama's ambassadors to china were from lan
