Sally Yates, who was the acting attorney general and a left over from the Obama regime has been fired by Donald Trump. Yates refused to defend Trump’s temporary travel ban on seven Muslim countries. Sally Yates was appointed by Obama in 2013, and sailed through the Senate with a 84-12. Another example of how cowardly Republican bended over backwards for Obama, while blocking Trump’s cabinet picks today, including Attorney General pick Jeff Session.

To be honest, up until tonight, I have never heard of Sally Yates.
