(MENAFN) Sen. John Kennedy expressed his wishes for the White House to remove one of its judicial candidates following a hearing this week when the Louisiana Republican interrogated him.
On "OutFront" of CNN, Senator Kennedy declared "I'm hoping that the White House will pull down Mr. Petersen."
During a hearing which took place Wednesday, the commissioner on the Federal Election Commission Matthew Spencer Petersen has been viewed on footage where he had trouble replying to a series of questions from Kennedy.
The senator added "I don't want to - I mean, I don't want to see him suffer, he's a nice guy, but you can't just walk into a federal courthouse for the very first time and say, 'Here I am, I think I want to be a judge.' It just doesn't work that way."
