    Lol didn’t he resign from congress to take this job?

    Also lmao at trying to use the excuse that your nomination is causing unnecessary distractions and taking away from the hard work of the transition team. The transition team is hard at work causing as many unnecessary distractions as possible.

    This incredibly obviously guilty pedophile and human trafficker is one of the more highly qualified appointments. God forbid they cause an unnecessary circus that distracts from the good work being done by Dr Fucking Oz and Vince McMahon wife.

      He resigned from congress to avoid his ethics investigation releasing their findings.

    the AG nom was a favor to provide cover for him to defuse his ethics bomb by resigning from congress. next chapter of his grift may now proceed. many people are saying it

      wowee I probably would’ve asked the incoming President to just pardon me for whatever crimes against humanity and children i’ve committed

      (but really lol why would the AG nom have been cover for the ethics report if…the impact from the ethics report was not even defused)

        how dare you critique my shitpost! I was kinda having fun with that idea and I’m not prepared to give it a rigorous defense… honestly doubt it merits one in the first place… but let me ask this: in a world where the ethics report has power to hold Gaetz accountable while he’s in Congress, does it still have that power when he’s out of office?

    So he resigned his senate house seat, and now is withdrawing from the AG. Can he go back, or was this a soft purge?

      He was elected again, so he only resigned from the remainder of this term.

        Tommy’s face is too linear to be compared to Gaetz
