Sen. Thom Tillis has publicly announced his opposition to the confirmation of Eagle Ed Martin as U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. He expressed that if Martin were nominated for any other district, he might support him. Tillis stated the importance of acknowledging the wrongness of the January 6th events, emphasizing the disgrace it caused to the nation. There are uncertainties regarding Martin's confirmation, as other senators weigh their positions, with some factions reacting negatively to Tillis's stance.
"If Mr. Martin were being put forth as a U.S. attorney for any district except the district where Jan. 6 happened... I'd probably support him, but not in this district."
"We have to be very, very clear that what happened on January the 6th was wrong... They made a stupid decision, and they disgraced the United States by absolutely destroying the Capitol."
