But not everyone was unhappy with the decision. A handful of Republican members of Congress spoke out in favor of the president's decision, including Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, John Kennedy of Louisiana, and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.

Sen. John Kennedy defends Trump move to revoke Brennan clearance -- calling the former CIA director a “butthead.” Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, says: “I don’t have a problem with it at all.”
