The left was throwing fits on Wednesday as President-elect Donald Trump announced more appointments in his new administration.
They were throwing fits over Trump naming Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) got handed her head when she claimed he was “unqualified”; many schooled her on Hegseth’s 20+ year career in the military. Jim Acosta and Joy Reid also flipped out over Hegseth, but also failed to tell people about Hegseth’s military background. So much for any claim to be journalists by those two.
But the nomination that truly set some people off was Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for Attorney General.
That had Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) losing his mind and saying Gaetz had to be rejected.
First the Supreme Court granted a president immunity for weaponizing the Justice Department. Now Donald Trump wants to appoint Matt Gaetz as AG?Confirming him would mean affirming the worst potential abuses of DOJ.He must be rejected by the Senate.
Gaetz has already resigned his seat in the House, which was a surprise. But that could allow Florida to fill the seat by Jan. 3, House Speaker Mike Johnson said.
