Matt Gaetz withdraws from attorney general nomination amid social media reactions
Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration to be Donald Trump's attorney general, citing concerns that his confirmation was becoming a distraction. This announcement follows reports of alleged payments Gaetz made to women for sex and new testimony regarding encounters with a minor. The news sparked significant reactions on social media, with some users mocking Gaetz's withdrawal. One comment humorously suggested he would be "re-nominated as Secretary of Lowlifery." Trump did not address the allegations in his response, stating only that Gaetz did not want to distract from the administration's work.
