āMatt Gaetz, United States Attorney General. Itās almost an oxymoron.
This is a crazy pick. This is a dangerous pick. This is a pick that warns of dark intentions.
Letās get specific. We can assess any attorney general candidate on two core criteria: qualifications and independence.
Gaetz is aggressively unqualified. The man has never been a prosecutor. He has no idea what it means to stand up on court and represent the United States. He has no clue what it means to investigate, indict, and convict another human being. Heās never been in position to deprive another human being of his liberty, and he has no idea how that feels. He has no sense of prosecutorial judgment or discretion. Thatās not his fault; heās simply never done the job.
Nor is Gaetz independent by any definition of the term. He is āan outspoken conservative firebrandā and āa tireless defender of President Trump.ā He has earned nicknames such as the āTrumpiest Congressman in Trumpās Washingtonā and āthe Trumpiest Congressman,ā both of which āhe considers badges of honor.ā No doubt, heās proud of it all ā each of the preceding quotations in this paragraph are pulled verbatim from Gaetzās own Congressional website.ā

Trump surrounds himself with boot-licking sycophants ā blind partisan Trump Cult members who will be loyal only to Trump, not the Constitution and not the American people.
