What about Matt Gaetz’s appointment?
In all honesty, the wide majority of Republicans thought that Matt Gaetz’s appointment was nothing but a joke. In fact, one Republican even stated that Gaetz’s appointment was definitely not on their “Bingo card.”
President-elect Donald Trump shocked the Republican party when he chose Florida Representative Matt Gaetz to serve as his attorney general, including so many of the senators that were required to push through his confirmation.
The antagonistic, deeply partisan MAGA cheerleader now earns the votes from the same Republicans who reviled him for forcing out Speaker Kevin McCarthy over a year ago. In all honesty, it’s not really looking like he has too much support.
Moreover, Senator Jon Cornyn audibly snorted upon hearing the news of Gaetz’s nomination. “I don’t even know the man other than his public persona,” he told the Washington Post.
Senator Susan Collins also said that she was appalled by the news of his nomination, and Senator Lisa Murkowski declared that “this was not on my Bingo card.”
