Sen. Marco Rubio: Biden nominee Wendy Sherman for deputy secretary of state? No way. Here’s why
close Video Biden rescinds Trump's ban on funding for overseas abortions Former NFL player Ben Watson expresses disappointment with the reverse of anti-abortion policy and previews his address to the March for Life on 'Fox & Friends.' Ambassador Wendy Sherman, who served as President Obama's under secretary of state for political affairs from 2011 to 2015, is not qualified to serve as our next deputy secretary of state .

In her confirmation hearings, the ambassador dodged substantive questions on her role in failed foreign policies, including the disastrous Iran nuclear deal that she helped negotiate.

Hukum Singh, 78, began his political career as a Congress politician, then joined the Lok Dal, returned to the Congress, serving in the Veer Bahadur Singh and Narain Dutt Tewari ministries of the mid 1980s. After he joined the BJP in the early 1990s, he was elected on the party's ticket and appointed a minister in the … [Read more...] about Kairana exodus: Blame it on ‘bhaigiri’, says BJP MP
