Former President Trump shocked and appalled some Republican lawmakers on Wednesday by announcing plans to nominate Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for attorney general.
Why it matters: Republican reaction to even Trump's most controversial nominations has been muted so far, but placing the scandal-prone right-winger in the nation's highest law enforcement role is a step too far for many.
We wanted him out of the House ... this isn't what we were thinking," quipped one House Republican, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak frankly about Trump's decision.
What we're hearing: Trump's announcement was met with audible gasps by House Republicans during a conference meeting on Wednesday afternoon, multiple sources in the room told Axios.

You must be a “moderate” conservative. No? A democrat?
I was hoping for General Mike Flynn.
But Trump knows what’s he’s doing so…
Eeerm.....we’re only talking about appointments, not nukes going off. Talk about out-of-context....sheesh.
The usual pricks who have skeletons in their closet are the most outraged otherwise whats the problem what are they afraid of, or more importantly, what are they afraid that Gaetz will find out
Now we know what that lil secret that Trump was referencing to with Gaetz at the rally he had with him a few weeks ago, remember that..the “Hey Matt we have a lil secret but we wont tell anyone til after the election” this is it!
See post #11 if you are “concerned”.
Axios was created by distilling the radical left agitators who were even too activist and radical for Politico, into a small hit piece generator cutout, to invent and feed proto-propaganda far left wing narratives, “big lies” and conspiracy theory into the dem propaganda supply chain and source laundering process from which they will emerge as legacy’s media “facts” or “debunking”. Kind of like Perkins-Coie (sp?) did with the purported Moscow files on Trump.
No normal media should even acknowledge their content. I was shocked the other day when Breitbart based a story on it.
he just resigned so...
he clearly thinks it is.
Also....AG is boss of FBI.
This is a bad pick.
Oh, well!
Senate won’t confirm him since the repubs will “have to work with dems” as Schumer announced.
Must be the right guy!
Stunned and disgusted by what? I couldn’t care less about Gaetz but Biden’s DOJ in Feb 2023 decided not to charge him with anything. Innocent until proven guilty. Either provide some proof of something bad the guy did or STFU. Stop with the innuendoes and hearsay.
Yep, the recess appointment will be the “Trump Card”
Title should be “Rinos and pussies ‘stunned and disgusted’ as Trump taps Gaetz...”
spoke on the condition of anonymity
Wow. I see the usual pussies are out on this thread.
Gaetz may or may not get confirmed. But it is clear Trump learned lessons from what happened last time.
Even if the naysayers both on and off this forum haven’t. They want people like Sessions and Barr.
Sessions was vacillating and weak. Barr was Deep State.
Trump will FORCE a vote.
If the Republican wing of the Uniparty votes down Gaetz, then Trump has in effect doxed his enemies.
It is a NEW DAY in America.
RINO’s in the past have gotten cover from Elite Stream Media.
Elite Stream Media is dead.
Those of us who voted Trump terminated it.
RINO senators who voted down Gaetz will be an enemy of the people.
Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan were an enemy of the people in 2016 for nixing the wall.
But they didn’t get the heat that they deserved because they still had some support in Elite Stream Media.
Voting down Gaetz will forever haunt Republican Uniparty senators.
Liberal posters on Yahoo are in a meltdown over Matt Gaetz nomination.
