Trump choosing Gaetz for Attorney General draws backlash from both sides
Gaetz, who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2016, is a Trump loyalist who supported Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Gaetz resigned from Congress abruptly Wednesday hours after Trump's announcement, effectively ending a wide-ranging probe by the House Ethics Committee over alleged sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. The Ethics Committee had been set to vote this week on the release of a "highly damaging" report on its investigation into Gaetz, Punchbowl News reported. Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has called on the committee to release the report regardless. If appointed, Gaetz will head the Justice Department, which last year decided not bring to charges against him over sex trafficking allegations, including that he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl.
Then one side will vote unanimously to place him in the job.
Bold of you to assume there will be a vote.
That is right they are going to do recess appointments.
However, he got a ringing endorsement from Roy Moore, Jim Jordan and Diddy.
The actual swamp.
We are still ascending on the roller coaster of bullshit and the drop is going to suck.
Lol good metaphor. Right now we’re just at the point where the ride is fullly pointed upwards and rising to the peak dropoff point that will drop in January.
Why are Republicans acting like they collectively have half of a braincell? They helped a rapist who still has zero political experience after an entire term get back in office, yet they draw the line at Gaetz? 💀 I guess (not really) good on them..possibly, maybe?
See? Both sides are the same.
