Sen. Lindsey Graham does not want to see Attorney General Jeff Sessions become Homeland Security secretary once John Kelly makes the transition to White House chief of staff.
In a pair of tweets Saturday, Graham, R-S.C., said “AG Jeff Sessions has a good ring to it.”
He went on to list off the qualities he thinks makes Sessions the right fit as attorney general. “Highly qualified, committed to the rule of law, tough on crime, and fiercely independent,” he said.
Graham then expressed his disapproval of speculation that Sessions could jump over to DHS.
“DHS Secretary Jeff Sessions doesn’t sound right, doesn’t feel right,” he said. “Bad idea.”
President Trump announced on Twitter Friday that Kelly would be his new chief of staff, replacing Reince Priebus. He is expected to start on Monday.

Well, since when do competence and the right fit have anything to do with being appointed or nominated for a job by the president?
