The southern California congressman who was on the short list to become President-elect Donald J. Trump's secretary of state told Breitbart News, when President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi pulled his country's United Nations resolution condemning Israel at Trump's request, he proved he was a friend of the United States. Dana Tyrone Rohrabacher[1] (born June 21, 1947) is the U.S. Representative for California's 48th congressional district, and previously the 46th, 45th and 42nd, serving since 1989. He is a member of the Republican Party. He chairs the United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia and Emerging Threats.
