John Oliver highlights Republican disdain for Matt Gaetz's Attorney General nomination

John Oliver highlighted the strong dislike for Matt Gaetz among his Republican colleagues during the finale of Last Week Tonight. Gaetz, nominated by President-elect Trump for Attorney General, faces a House ethics investigation into alleged sexual misconduct. Oliver shared reactions from Republicans, including Geraldo Rivera, who expressed disgust at Gaetz's nomination. Other lawmakers, like Mike Lawler, openly criticized Gaetz, calling him a "clown" and a "charlatan." Despite the backlash, some U.S. Senators remain noncommittal about confirming Gaetz. Oliver noted that while Gaetz denies the allegations against him, many of his House colleagues are vocal about their concerns regarding his suitability for the position.
