Democrats Lose It Over Trump Picks For Agency Heads

And, of course, some Squishy Republicans. The one that has driven them the most crazy is Matt Gaetz

Trump’s Gaetz pick as AG triggers audible gasp among some congressional Republicans

Reaction among Republicans on Capitol Hill to President-elect Donald Trump’s choice of Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general on Wednesday ranged from shock to support.

Several House Republicans meeting behind closed doors said there was an audible gasp in the room when they heard Trump had picked Gaetz.

Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins was among those who said they were shocked, appearing to refer to Trump’s demand that his nominees be done with recess appointments — without Senate confirmation.

“This shows why the advice and consent process is so important, and I’m sure that there will be a lot of questions raised at his hearing,” Collins told reporters. “Obviously, the president has the right to nominate whomever he wishes, but I’m certain that there will be a lot of questions.”

Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who voted to find Trump guilty at his second impeachment trial during his first term, said “I don’t think this is a serious nomination for the attorney general.”

“We need to have a serious attorney general and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to consider somebody that is serious,” she said. “This one was not on my bingo card.”

Anyone surprised by those two? Obviously, Democrats lost their every loving you know what over this.

In case anyone thought I was exaggerating about the world’s dumbest liberals believing Tulsi (who served in the US military her whole life, including in wars) is a Russian agent. It was Hillary who first baselessly insinuated this. pic.twitter.com/9ToM85od6m

There has obviously been a freakout over all. Marco Rubio as Secretary Of State seems safe, as does John Ratcliffe for CIA Director, but, Army veteran Pete Hegseth as Secretary Of Defense? Kristi Noem as Director Of Homeland Security? Lee Zeldin as head of the EPA? Most of these people, so far, are not meant to be administrators: they are meant to be bomb throwers. People who will shake things up, bring the hammer down on waste, fraud, malfeasance, on people who are working on their own agenda rather than doing the best for the citizens of the United States. People who do not want to be public servants, but, Lords. I can’t wait for Trump’s pick of FBI director. This is what Trump was elected for.
