Criminal Trump nominates monstrous Gaetz to oversee criminal justice in America.
The Washington Post calls Gaetz an "outspoken ally" of Trump, and the NY Times calls naming him attorney general a "provocative move".
Now THAT is how you normalize the criminals and fascists in charge of the next U.S. government.
Please spend your news dollars on real journalism, not the pathetic drivel these organizations are feeding you.

We can call it Trump's #viceSignaling, which is the exact opposite of #Biden's #virtueSignaling that had led him to make #Garland "whole" by appointing him as AG because #Republicans had stolen the latter's #SCOTUS seat.
Now Trump signals to his constituents that rape — whether statutory with underage kids, or otherwise — is just fine, and the DOJ won't prosecute them.
#Gaetz suspiciously resigned from the House immediately, which was unusual, and faces an uphill climb to be approved by the Senate.
Honestly, this sounds like a negotiated way to get him to go away, since he was likely to continue screwing things up in the #House.
The idea is that instead of being drummed out in disgrace after the investigations show what a scumbag he is, officially, he'll be able to pretend to be a martyr after his nomination fails.
@Faelyn that would definitely be an interesting outcome, but I would be surprised if it happened because the guy is so roundly recognized as a problem by conservatives.

He can then be appointed to Marco Rubio's Senate seat by DeSantis.
