Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) criticized President-elect Trump’s decision to elevate former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) to attorney general, calling it a “middle finger” to Democrats and “sane” Republicans.
Swalwell, who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, joined CNN’s Erin Burnett on Wednesday after the nomination sent shockwaves through Capitol Hill. She asked him what he thought of Trump’s move.
“Well, to the president, I say, ‘No seriously, who is your pick for attorney general?’” Swalwell said. “Because this pick is a middle finger to Democrats and sane Republicans.”
The California Democrat argued his Republican friends are “clowning this pick” both publicly and privately.
Some GOP lawmakers have also expressed shock Trump would nominate Gaetz, a loyalist who himself was subject of a Department of Justice investigation, while others have expressed support for the Florida Republican.

Ha! Every cabinet position Biden filled was a middle finger to every American.
RECESS APPOINTMENTS!
Will suck to be a traitor when Gartz gets going. The dirt on this POS must be a mile high. He’s stupid, so he probably has cancelled checks from the CCP.
Trump is the middle finger to the Swamp and Deep State..
And his 8 year middle finger work was delayed 4 thanks to a stolen election.
Now, he’s got a mandate to flip the Swamp and Deep State off the map
I can’t wait until these appointments get to work.
If Swalwell calls you sane, then by every measure you are insane.
absolutely- enjoy it....
HOORAY Matt Gaetz!
Talk to Thune.. 🥴
I can’t wait until these appointments get to work.
Ditto!
One gives Swallowwell a half point for that one, just not in the same way that he thinks.
I for one am quite confident Gaetz does not survive the confirmation process.
Just don’t see this happening.
And what would you call your repeated banging of a Chinese Communist agent, Comrade Swalwell???
The results of the 11-5 election gave a huge middle finger to the whole Commie Rat party.
PDJT was supposed to clear every cabinet appointment with the Democrats. If this doesn’t happen, he’s breaking the law, at least according to Elizabeth Warren.
I would have asked Paxton for a recommendation.
Not one of Schumer’s ‘rats is going to vote to confirm Gaetz, and Collins, Murkowski, Thune, Cornyn and McConnell aren’t going to vote to confirm Gaetz either.
Trump will take office after the new Senate session starts, so there will be no Senate recess appointment possibility for many months.
One of the first things Gaetz needs to do as AG is start building some gallows for all of the traitorous Demonicrats and DeepStaters he will get convicted and sentenced.
Of course, there are enough lampposts that could be used until enough gallows are ready.
The Democrat Party is the middle finger to all of America, so now we are getting even.
Swalwell was sleeping with a Chinese spy while he was on House Intelligence Committee.
