Congress has thoughts on Matt Gaetz as attorney general and—yikes!
Rep. Matt Gaetz is Donald Trump’s pick to become the United States’ next attorney general, the president-elect announced Wednesday—and reactions are pouring in from both sides of the aisle.
It’s a staggering choice considering the fact that the Florida congressman has been accused of sex trafficking a minor. His friend, former Florida tax collector Joel Greenberg, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 11 years for the crime, and Gaetz is currently under a House Ethics Committee investigation connected to those allegations.
Republican congressman and gun-fetishist Thomas Massie had this strange reaction to the news.
Massie seems to be referring to Trump’s demand that the next Senate majority leader allow him “recess appointments” to skip any confirmation hearings and questions from senators.
But there are some GOP simps who seem ready to rubber-stamp any and all of the wannabe dictator’s bad ideas.
