Gina Haspel
Susan Collins and Rand Paul are seen as key votes in the heated debate over torture.
“We have the most qualified person, a woman, who Democrats want Out because she is too tough on terror,” Trump tweeted Monday.
This is the "most sexist administration in modern history," scoffs New York Times' Michelle Goldberg.
Haspel's role in the CIA’s use of brutal interrogation measures has generated bipartisan criticism.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Torture apologists cite the military's use of waterboarding trainees in defense of Gina Haspel, Trump's nominee for CIA director. One problem: The military stopped that training in 2007.
Americans remain split over whether the use of torture is ever acceptable.
If they unite, they could have the power to block Gina Haspel from getting the job. Will they?
Gina Haspel’s dark past makes her a complicated figure for feminists to support.
"To defend torture is to attack the Constitution.”
Confirming Gina Haspel would prove that the rehabilitation of torturers has a bipartisan consensus.
