Brenda Sue Fulton, tapped for a top personnel post, apologized for labeling the GOP as “racist.”

Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday said they were opposed to Pentagon nominee Brenda Sue Fulton, citing her past tweets and statements criticizing the GOP and evangelicals.

“I’m a Christian,” Fulton said in an exchange with Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. “I will, as I have throughout my career, work side by side with Republicans, with Democrats, with Independents, with anyone regardless of their political beliefs for the mission, for what is best for our armed forces.”
