Y'all elected a sexual predator. Why you're upset he picks a sexual predator to be his U.S. Attorney General? |
President-elect Donald J. Trump will get Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) through the system one way or another. If the American voters can elect a man convicted of 34 felonies, found a liable sexual offender, twice impeached and is regarded as a decline in U.S. influence, his appointments should not matter. They're just about the same.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is an admitted sexual predator, adulterer, former drug addict and conspiracy theorist.
Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. He is a sexual predator, conspiracy theorist and a racist. He called Islam a cancer and called Black youth committing crimes a threat to America.
Matt Gaetz has slept with underage children, paid for prostitutes, got horrible plastic surgery and said racist things. He openly supported Trump, rallied against President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Hunter Biden.
Gaetz ran on the Tara Reade allegations to damage Biden. He and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tried to have Reade testify from Russia. The woman fled the U.S. to embrace convicted spy Maria Butina. Reade has hinted asking for Trump to pardon her even though she has no criminal indictments so far.
Gaetz has no shame in what he does.
Y'all upset over his past transgressions. Well you should have voted for Harris.
Y'all voted for this.
Trump slept with prostitutes, groped women, sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll, slept with Stormy Daniels and then paid her and Karen McDougal to stay silent about the affairs he had on incoming first lady Melania Trump.
Trump has lied so much, the junk food media now believes his bullshit. He is grossly incompetent.
Trump has slept with Laura Loomer, Alina Habba and other women while campaigning.
Trump and Matt Gaetz are one in the same.
Trump will get his Attorney General.
The Pennsylvania race for U.S. Senator enters a recount. I previously said David McCormick defeated Bob Casey, but the state had issued a recount. The results should be in by the end of the week.
The Senate is in Republican control and the concerns are growing. Democrats will not back him. Republicans can lose two or three senators. Trump and J.D. Vance, Ohio senator and Vice President-elect has confidence he will get through.
Gaetz and Trump attorney Todd Blanche are moving full speed ahead on trying to fill out the Justice Department, according to sources familiar with the planning. If confirmed, Blanche would serve in the powerful No. 2 position at the Justice Department, overseeing all U.S. attorney’s offices throughout the country.
“President Trump and his team are focused on and confident in the confirmation of AG-designee Gaetz,” a person familiar with Trump’s thinking told NBC News.
Trump announced he was choosing Gaetz for the attorney general role on Wednesday, writing in a post on Truth Social, “Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System. Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.”
When the president-elect initially publicized his pick, many Republicans — except for House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) who got a heads-up from Trump — were in complete shock.
In his few terms in the House, Gaetz has often been embroiled in controversy.
He was investigated by the Justice Department in a case involving the alleged sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl, though the former congressman, who resigned his post shortly after he was picked for attorney general, has always denied the allegations and has never been criminally charged.
On Thursday, though, a lawyer for the 17-year-old girl wrote in a post on X, saying, “She was a high school student and there were witnesses” when the alleged incident occurred.
The attorney, John Clune, also called for the release of a House Ethics Committee report detailing the committee’s investigation into Gaetz, which has been ongoing for several years.
Republicans who oppose Gaetz now could still ultimately vote to confirm him when the time comes, especially if pressure from Trump mounts.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and incoming Majority Leader John Thune (R-SC) said that they will not allow a recess appointment.
Shortly after he was projected to win the presidential election, Trump wrote a post on Truth Social urging Republicans running to be the next Senate majority leader to allow him to use recess appointments to confirm a Cabinet quickly.
This style of nomination would bypass the normal appointment process, leaving the Senate entirely out of the equation, by allowing Trump to appoint members of his Cabinet while both chambers of Congress are in periods of recess that last days or weeks.
The House and Senate currently gavel in for pro forma sessions while in recess to prevent the president from taking such steps to appoint Cabinet members.
Since the Truth Social post, Trump has not asked for any specific Cabinet pick, including Gaetz, to be confirmed via recess appointment.
“If the obstructionists are the other party, and you have the votes to confirm somebody, then I think you could make an ethical decision to provide that opportunity, that constitutional opportunity,” Cramer said. “On the other hand, if the opposition is preventing you from doing it with your own party, I think it runs a couple of risks. You could do it, but you’d have a very weak Cabinet secretary.”
