Kinzinger mocks Gaetz, says peanut butter is better choice for attorney general

Former Congressman Adam Kinzinger criticized Matt Gaetz, saying even "a bag filled with peanut butter" is a better choice for U.S. attorney general than Gaetz. This comment followed President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Pam Bondi after Gaetz withdrew from consideration. Trump announced Bondi's nomination on social media, stating she would refocus the Department of Justice on fighting crime. Gaetz, who praised Bondi as a strong candidate, had previously resigned from Congress amid investigations into allegations against him. Gaetz's political future remains uncertain after his resignation, which blocked the release of an ethics report. Some Republican senators are still calling for the report's release, despite the federal investigation into Gaetz ending without charges.
