Fetterman criticizes Gaetz's AG nomination as top-level trolling by Trump
Senator John Fetterman criticized President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of former Rep. Matt Gaetz for U.S. attorney general, calling it “God-tier level trolling.” This comes amid an ongoing ethics probe into Gaetz's conduct, raising doubts about his confirmation. Fetterman noted that moderate lawmakers, like Senator Lisa Murkowski, expressed concerns about Gaetz's suitability for the role. Murkowski stated she was looking for a serious candidate, indicating Gaetz was unexpected. Despite his opposition to Trump, Fetterman supported the nomination of Senator Marco Rubio for secretary of state, highlighting bipartisan agreement on certain issues, such as support for Israel.
