President-elect Donald J. Trump nominated the Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as our nation’s next attorney general. The announcement seemed like the world is coming to an end any moment soon, as some jaundiced minds on both flanks couldn’t comprehend the prospect of Gaetz becoming our leading law enforcement official.

Gaetz would likely generate significant public and political debate due to his polarizing reputation and legal controversies in the past. His strong alignment with Trump and his confrontational style might provoke pushback from both Democrats and some the traditional reactionary forces of what was left of the anti-Trump Republicans. They’re freaking out big time.
The confirmation process Rep. Gaetz for the position of Attorney General would be intense, involving scrutiny from the Senate Judiciary Committee and extensive public hearings
Already, voices from both sides of the aisle, such as Representatives Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA) expressed opposition and Republican Senators like Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) raised concerns, saying Gaetz was unqualified or might be unconfirmable. CNN’s Scott Jennings took a ‘Are you not entertained’ take, which was humorous.

One thing that is true about Gaetz’s next AG is that, though he is divisive supporter of Trump, is that his nomination angers all the right people. But it is true that it will get extraordinarily hostile if it reaches hearing levels.
No matter, say what you will about Mr. Gaetz, he’s someone who won’t flinch in cleaning house at the Justice Department.
Take a look at some the cry sports from both sides on X:
Rep. Eric Swalwell, infamous for sleeping with a Chinese spy, says Trump’s nomination of Gaetz for AG ‘is a joke.’ “I say no, seriously, who is your pick for Attorney General? Because this pick is a middle finger to Democrats and sane Republicans.”

“Andrew Weissmann on Matt Gaetz as Attorney General: “They are untethered to the facts & maybe also the law … We are in pure George Orwell 1984 land”
“Chief Russia Hoax Collusion spreader Adam Schiff is absolutely terrified. Good.”
“Murkowski failed the bar exam four times and only got to be a senator because daddy gave her his seat. Not sure she’s qualified to opine on who’s “serious” or not.”
“For all the Dems distressed by Trump’s Cabinet picks – where were you when Joe Biden and the Dems canceled their own primary to prop Joe up? Dean Phillips called this all “predictable and preventable” and he was spot on.”

“Cry harder. The days of stupid dorks who get off on white papers running things is over.”
“Can someone explain what is so bad about Gaetz? I mean, he’s a lawyer, been in Congress for years, and the state house before that. What’s the problem beyond his ideology?”
“Eh. It’s a clean hit, don’t deflect. Gaetz isn’t my pick but let’s not pretend that there’s any such thing as disinterested professionalism at DOJ. I keep hearing DOJ alumni say that but all I’ve seen is gangster government.”
“Every swamp rat crying about Gaetz didn’t lift a finger while DOJ was running illegal coup after illegal coup against our elected government from 2016-2020. They didn’t say a word when DOJ illegally seized the phones of Rep. Scott Perry or Rep. Andy Ogles
“So to everyone in Washington crying about Matt Gaetz: you are the reason he is necessary. Understand that it is happening because of your own fecklessness, or complicity.”
