President-elect Donald Trump made a surprising announcement on Wednesday, naming Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) as his choice for Attorney General.
“It is my Great Honor to announce that Congressman Matt Gaetz, of Florida, is hereby nominated to be The Attorney General of the United States,” Trump declared in a post on Truth Social.
Trump praised Gaetz’s abilities, calling him “a deeply gifted and tenacious attorney, trained at the William & Mary College of Law,” and highlighted Gaetz’s achievements in Congress. “He has distinguished himself in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform at the Department of Justice. Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System.”
Trump went on to assert that Gaetz’s leadership would tackle critical issues: “Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.” The statement also pointed to Gaetz’s efforts on the House Judiciary Committee. “On the House Judiciary Committee, which performs oversight of DOJ, Matt played a key role in defeating the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and exposing alarming and systemic Government Corruption and Weaponization. He is a Champion for the Constitution and the Rule of Law,” the Truth Social post read.

Appointing the fox over the henhouse
Nah. This is crazy. Matt will never get approved by the Senate. He is a complete nut job. He has only caused problems in the Republican controlled Congress. Maybe this is Trump’s strategy. He knows that Gaetz will never be voted in by the Senate and this is a smart way to get rid of him (from any position in his cabinet)
Is this supposed to be satire? Gaetz is completely unqualified and doesn’t have the emotional stability to handle the job. Had we wanted such people in office we could have voted for Kamala Harris
This is one appointment I doubt will get confirmed. Geatz is a hothead. I once saw him questioning Al Sharpton He came across like an arrogant idiot.
Tucker Carlson, whom they accused of being loyal to Putin, will become the new White House press secretary.
Not a chance.
He took down Mccarthy to help ultra liberal Hakeem jeffries
Not really. He’s very appreciative of adoration.
