POLL: Gaetz is gone. Which unserious Trump pick will fall next?
Former congressman, briefly practicing attorney, alleged child sex trafficker, and confirmed soundbite-chaser Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration as Donald Trump’s attorney general amid a new allegation of sex with a minor on Thursday. The move immediately sparked strong reactions and predictions about what comes next for him.
But this is not a story about what comes next for Gaetz. In the 15 days since the presidential election was called for Trump, he’s unleashed a barrage of unserious nominees for his Cabinet. A surprising number of Trump’s TV-alumni dream team members are steeped in scandal, much like Dear Leader himself, and are crumbling under the most nominal of scrutiny—which makes you wonder if Team Trump knows how to do a Google.
With Gaetz out of the way, which junk drawer nominee will be taken down by their own nonsense next?
