Gaetz is as big an unforced error as Trump has ever committed…Awful, awful choice….NONE of the other nominations comes within a light year of how bad this selection is.
Gaetz has been credibly accused of a number of felonies and was subject of an investigation that was unresolved. He got a DUI quashed in Florida through his political influence. There is an awful House ethic report hanging out there that will either leak or be released to the Senate. Plus he’s a bombastic blowhard and not the type of bureaucratic fighter who can effectively root out the massive corruption in the DoJ. He’s never run a business or been in the military.
