Gaetz’s Hometown Paper: “He Must Never Become AG”

From the South Florida Sun-Sentinel editorial board:

Matt Gaetz must never become America’s attorney general. The U.S. Senate can prevent it. To not do so would disgrace the country and strip the Senate of all credibility.

Donald Trump’s choice of the rogue Florida congressman to run the nation’s vast law enforcement apparatus makes it painfully clear why he wants the Senate to recess in January long enough for him to make key appointments that might not need careful review and confirmation.

For senators to allow Gaetz to become attorney general through a recess appointment would be a complete abdication of the Senate’s constitutional advise and consent responsibility. Gaetz, who has called for defunding the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies, should be kept as far as possible from the Justice Department.
