Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) is poised to take the helm of the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee following the death of Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.).

No official announcements have been made about McCain’s successor, but Inhofe, as the senior Republican, has led the committee as acting chairman since McCain returned home to Arizona to receive treatment for brain cancer.

During that time, Inhofe has insisted McCain was still the one calling the shots and that he was leading the committee as McCain’s proxy.

As chairman, Inhofe will play a leading role in overseeing U.S. defense policy, including as one of the key crafters of the annual defense policy legislation that does everything from specifying how many fighter jets the military can buy to banning military-to-military relations with Russia.

As a supporter of President Trump, Inhofe is expected to hew closely to the president’s agenda.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
